US President Donald Trump has suspended the US Refugee Admissions Program, impacting Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban. Thousands are stranded in Albania awaiting visa approval, amidst a broader Biden effort to broaden eligibility for at-risk Afghans. However, a significant limitation requires them to leave Afghanistan and navigate a lengthy application process in a third country, which the US does not support. The delays have left over 3,200 Afghans in limbo, particularly those who had been approved for resettlement prior to the suspension.
Refugees who had been approved to travel to the United States before 27 January have had their travel plans cancelled by the Trump administration.
President Trump's administration announced the US Refugee Admissions Program would be suspended from 27 January for at least three months.
