Preview

The United States is promising to accept more refugees fleeing from wars in Syria and other areas.

Secretary of State John Kerry met with members of Congress Wednesday. After the meeting, he said, “We are looking hard at the number that we can specifically manage with respect to the crisis in Syria and Europe.”

Later, Senator John McCain went to the Senate floor to urge stronger leadership from President Barack Obama. He called on Mr. Obama to stop violence in the Middle East and North Africa.

On Tuesday, the president’s spokesman said the administration has been looking at a number of ways to help U.S. allies with the thousands of people arriving from the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
