Trump to Cap Number of Refugees Resettled in U.S. at Lowest Level Since 1980
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Officials say the Trump administration is planning to cap the number of
refugees resettled in the United States over the next year at 45,000-the
lowest level since 1980. Last year, under President Obama, the cap was
110,000 refugees. This comes amid the world's worst refugee crisis since
World War II.
