Trump says Guatemala is helping stem asylum seekers in US

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump thanked Guatemala’s president Tuesday for becoming a more active partner in helping stem a tide of migrants seeking to gain asylum in the United States.

Trump praised President Jimmy Morales during the leader’s visit to the White House, an invitation that came after Guatemala in July signed a “safe third country” agreement with the United States that’s meant to slow the flow of migrants from Central America coming to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Under the agreement, migrants — including those fleeing from El Salvador and Honduras who cross into Guatemala before arriving at the U.S. border — are required to first apply for protections in Guatemala.

So, the President of Guatemala visited the WH today, apparently.

Yes, he met with the President of Guatemala --- 100 miles of new border wall has been built and expecting to build another 400 miles.
