Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in an interview with ABC on April 18, defended the Biden administration’s decision to maintain Trump-era refugee caps amid capacity constraints.
“It’s going to be very hard to meet the 62,000 this fiscal year,” Blinken said of the Biden administration’s earlier goal for refugee admissions, after being asked about the April 16 directive to keep the Trump administration’s cap of 15,000.
