By Lesley Wroughton BERLIN (Reuters) - The United States*will take in 15,000 more refugees from around the world next year, increasing the current level to 85,000, and to 100,000 in 2017, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said after talks with his German counterpart on Sunday. The remarks may show an increasing willingness of the United States to help cope with the mass migration of Syrians although the offer is modest when compared with the hundreds of thousands that are moving alone to Europe and in particular, Germany. Kerry did not say how many of the additional refugees would be from Syria but pledged that the U.S. was ready to help.
