The US will send an additional $310 million in aid to the Northern Triangle countries, and train a Guatemalan “task force” in an effort to upend the migrant crisis overwhelming authorities at the southern border Harris announced in a statement Monday from Harris’ chief spokeswoman and senior adviser Symone Sanders after Harris' virtual meeting with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei.
“In light of the dire situation and acute suffering faced by millions of people in El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, Harris announced U.S. government support for humanitarian relief and to address food insecurity,” a portion of the statement read. Of the $310 million, $255 million will go toward humanitarian relief while $55 million will address food insecurity in the region.
In addition to the aid, Harris and Giammattei “committed to strengthen bilateral efforts to manage migration,” specifically noting that Guatemala planned to “increase the number of border security personnel and strengthen and enhance safeguards at its northern and southern borders.” The two would also work toward opening migrant resource centers in Guatemala and “provide services for people seeking lawful pathways of migration as well as those in need of protection, asylum referrals, and refugee resettlement.”
The US agreed to send 16 DHS employees to traina Guatemalan task force protecting the country’s borders. “On border security, what was discussed was the establishment of a joint task force for border protection,” Guatemalan Foreign Minister Pedro Brolo said. “The U.S. government offered training.”
The US will also help with transitioning migrants back to life in the communities they were returned to, agreeing to build shelters in the Central American country.
