American President Donald Trump and his administration have proposed that the United States accept up to 18,000 refugees in the coming year. The State Department said the proposed number would be the lowest since 1980. For the 12 months ending on September 30, the country will have accepted about 30,000 refugees. If the administration’s proposal is approved, next year will be the third year of cuts to refugee resettlement under the Trump presidency. The final decision will be made in the coming weeks. It will come in what U.S. officials are calling presidential determination. A top administration official said the decision will be made after discussions with Congress. No new refugees can be admitted in the fiscal year of 2020 until the presidential determination is approved. The fiscal year is related to government spending. It begins on October 1 and continues until the end of September the following year.
