US officials arrive in Australia to begin assessing asylum seekers
Another President Obama phone-and-pen initiative.
[Ynet] US officials have arrived in Australia to begin assessing asylum seekers held on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island and Nauru for resettlement in the United States, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said on Saturday.

Australia announced last week it had reached a deal in which the United States would take a substantial number of the 1,200 refugees held at the Australian-funded offshore processing centres, although the election of Donald Trump

has injected uncertainty into the agreement.

Trump started campaigning for the presidency by advocating a blanket ban on Moslems entering the United States, but later adjusted his stance to propose that the ban should apply to people from nations that had been "compromised by terrorism". Many of asylum seekers at the camps are Moslems who have fled conflicts in Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistain.
