U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday (March 6) that he would soon decide whether to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, following a Reuters report that his administration planned to take that step.Such a move would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden&#x27;s administration and potentially put them on a fast-track to deportation.&quot;We&#x27;re not looking to hurt anybody, we&#x27;re certainly not looking to hurt them, and I&#x27;m looking at that,&quot; Trump told reporters in the Oval Office when asked about revoking the Ukrainians&#x27; status and deporting them. &quot;There were some people that think that&#x27;s appropriate, and some people don&#x27;t, and I&#x27;ll be making the decision pretty soon.&quot;The planned rollback of protections for Ukrainians would be part of a broader Trump administration effort to strip legal status from more than 1.8 million migrants allowed to enter the U.S. under temporary humanitarian parole programs launched under the Biden administration, a senior Trump official and three sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.A move to revoke the Ukrainians&#x27; status could come as soon as April, all four said. They said the plans to revoke their status got underway before Trump publicly feuded with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy last week.(Production: Paul Vieira)
