First Australia refugees approved for US resettlement
20 September 2017
From the BBC section Australia
A group of refugees from Australia's offshore detention centres have become the first to be accepted by the US under a resettlement deal.
About 50 people from the Papua New Guinea and Nauru centres will be taken to the US, the Australian government confirmed on Tuesday.
Under a resettlement deal struck with the Obama administration in 2016, the US agreed to take up to 1,250 refugees.
President Donald Trump called the deal "dumb" but said he would honour it.
