Secretary of State Blinken defends Biden on refugee cap flip-flop
NY Post
Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday defended President Biden’s backtracking on upholding the Trump’s administration’s decision to cap refugee admissions after an uproar from Democratic lawmakers.
Just hours after Biden signed an executive order Friday maintaining Trump’s annual 15,000 cap, prompting outcry from Dem pols, the president reversed course — and the White House later said a new limit would be announced next month. “Look, the president’s been clear about where he wants to go, but we have to be, you know, focused on what we’re able to do when we’re able to do it,” Blinken said on ABC News’ “This Week.”More Related News
