Telephone Conversation: Asylum Seekers and Australia Expense

telephone conversation: The Obama administration had agreed to resettle refugees among almost 1,300 asylum seekers held at Australia expense on the island nations of Nauru and Papua New Guinea, according to CTV. Another 370 who came to Australia for medical treatment then refused to return to the islands would also be eligible. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull would not say whether he had discussed the deal with President-elect Donald Trump during their telephone conversation on Thursday. We deal with one administration at a time and there is only one president of the United States at a time, Turnbull told reporters. Most of the asylum seekers are Muslims from the Middle East, Africa and Asia. Trump has called for a moratorium or tight restrictions on Muslim immigration. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
