US to receive 100,000 refugees from Ukraine
Refugees wait in a crowd for transportation after fleeing from the Ukraine and arriving at the border crossing in Medyka, Poland, Monday, March 7, 2022.
The White House announced on Thursday that the United States will accept up to 100,000 refugees from Ukraine. The Biden administration says it will use a range of legal pathways, including the US refugee admissions program, to bring Ukrainian refugees to the US. And, the Russian invasion of Ukraine is revealing a growing energy partnership between Russia, China, Saudi Arabia and India. These deals on oil, gas and pipelines could end up sidelining the US dollar as the global reserve currency. Plus, we remember former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who died on Wednesday at the age of 84. Albright represented the US through historic meetings with allies and adversaries, impacting the course of world events.
