Washington: Diplomatic efforts are underway to avoid a major split between US President Donald Trump's administration and the UN refugee agency, officials say, amid concerns about Washington's future role in international refugee aid.
The initiatives aim to maintain collaboration between the United States and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), which depends significantly on foreign assistance to provide aid and protection to displaced individuals around the world.
According to sources, diplomats are working to maintain communication channels open and tensions from growing into a larger rupture. Given Washington's long history of sponsoring and supporting worldwide refugee programs, any significant drop in US support or collaboration might have far-reaching implications for humanitarian operations.
