BANGKOK: The United States may scrap its resettlement plan for Myanmar refugees currently residing in camps on Thailand’s borders after Republican candidate Donald Trump was elected as the country’s 47th president on Wednesday (Nov 6), a human rights expert said.
The plan, which aims to relocate some 60,000 minority group refugees to a third country that offers them permanent residence so that Thailand can close these camps, was previously discussed by the Thai and US governments when the Democrat Party was leading the country.
