In the United States, programs for receiving migrants, including Ukrainians, have been suspended
The administration of US President Donald Trump has suspended several programs that allowed migrants to enter the United States temporarily, including an initiative for Ukrainians. About this informs The New York Times.
In particular, the “Uniting for Ukraine” program, which provided the opportunity for Ukrainians to come to the United States in the presence of financial sponsors, was temporarily suspended. As of September 2023, more than 150,000 Ukrainians have taken advantage of this initiative.
The restrictions will also affect migrants from unstable countries such as Cuba, Haiti and Venezuela, who were previously able to obtain temporary entry permits. In addition, applications for programs that facilitate family reunification in the United States, as well as an initiative for minors from Central America who have relatives in the United States, have been suspended.
The administration of the new US president plans to conduct a large-scale reassessment of a wide range of programs that allowed temporary entry into the United States. Officials say Trump believes many of these programs were created in violation of the law.
