United States President Donald Trump will allow refugee admissions to the US to resume while announcing stricter rules for vetting applicants, US media report.
It comes as the 120-day ban on refugees expires today. It had been part of Mr Trump’s executive orders that came to be known as the “travel ban”.
According to the BBC news, last month President Trump announced the lowest cap on refugee resettlements ever set by a US president.
The decision came after a diplomatic and intelligence review, officials say.
The temporary ban on all refugees worldwide, as well as a permanent ban on Syrian nationals, was announced by President Trump in January during his first week at the White House.
It also included a 90-day ban on citizens from seven Muslims-majority nations.
