Trump Administration Weighs Asylum for UK Jews, Lawyer Says

Discussions are reportedly taking place within Donald Trump's administration about the United States potentially offering asylum to Jewish people from the United Kingdom. The news comes from the president's personal lawyer, Robert Garson. He told Britain's Telegraph newspaper that he has spoken with the US State Department on the matter. Garson said the talks focus on providing refuge to British Jews who are leaving the UK. He cited rising antisemitism as their reason for departure. The Telegraph first reported the story. The US government has not yet made any official announcement.
