STARBUCKS Corp's chief executive officer Howard Schultz, who wrote that he had a "heavy heart" over US President Donald Trump's immigration order, said the company plans to hire 10,000 refugees over five years around the world.

Mr Trump issued an order on Jan 27 suspending the admission of refugees into the US for 120 days and banning citizens from seven predo-minantly Muslim countries for 90 days.
