READING COMPREHENSION

President Donald Trump will bring the "full force" of the U.S. government
to combat human trafficking
WASHINGTON (AP) — The president is meeting with senior advisers and representatives
of organizations that deal with trafficking at the White House. His daughter is among
those in attendance.

Trump calls “human trafficking” as a problem that is "not talked about enough." He said
that he would order the departments of Justice and Homeland Security to take a hard
look at the resources they were devoting to addressing the issue.

Human trafficking tends to occur around international travel-hubs with large immigrant
populations, such as California and Texas. The U.S. Justice Department estimates that
14,500–17,500 people, including young children, teenagers, men and women, are
trafficked into the country every year. They can be domestic citizens or foreign nationals.
According to the Department of State's statistics from 2000, there are approximately
244,000 American children and youth that are at risk for sex trafficking each year.
