Airbnb, the home-sharing site, has said it will give free housing to refugees and any others not allowed into the United States, presumably as a result of U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order to temporarily ban refugees from the country. Brian Chesky, the co-founder and CEO of Airbnb, tweeted the offer late Saturday as travellers from several Muslim-majority countries were detained or otherwise placed in limbo at airports around the world. “Airbnb is providing free housing to refugees and anyone not allowed in the U.S. Trump also said he would give priority to Christian refugees over those of other religions. Chesky earlier said singling out countries and refugees in such a way was “not right, and we must stand with those who are affected.”
