Sunday in Antalya, Turkey at the start of the G20 Summit, President Barack Obama said that Americans should still take Syrian refugees even after reports that at least one man linked to the Paris attacks was smuggled in as a refugee.

Obama said, “The United States the largest provider of humanitarian assistance stands shoulder to shoulder with Turkey, Europe and others in trying to help those who need help right now even as we hope to reduce the flow of migrants because of the situation inside Syria.”
