United Nations agencies urged Washington on Friday to continue allowing refugees to enter the country after President Donald Trump pledged to freeze immigration from 'third-world' countries following an attack near the White House. The UN called on the US authorities to continue accepting refugees. This statement came after Donald Trump promised to stop immigration from developing nations. The reason for this decision was an incident near the US president's residence. 'We call on the United States to uphold its international obligations to protect refugees,' the UN agencies stated. They emphasized the importance of providing shelter to those in need, regardless of their origin.
