The U.S. pushed at the UN for asylum system reforms, calling for temporary asylum and mandatory returns, sparking global debate over migration policy.
At the 2025 UN General Assembly, U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau led a push by the Trump administration for global reforms to the asylum system, arguing the post-World War II framework is outdated and abused.
He called for asylum to be treated as temporary, with mandatory return to home countries, and stressed national sovereignty over international oversight.
The U.S. urged nations including Kosovo, Bangladesh, Liberia, and Panama to join the effort, while human rights advocates warned the proposals could undermine the principle of non-refoulement and endanger vulnerable migrants.
The administration has restricted asylum access and refugee resettlement, citing border pressures and misuse, though legal challenges continue.
The debate highlights growing global tension over migration policy, with calls for stronger international cooperation and reform.
