Vice President Kamala Harris met with President Bernardo Arévalo of Guatemala to discuss immigration issues amid a record-breaking February migrant surge from Central America. The meeting focused on addressing the root causes of migration, including anti-corruption efforts and the strategic partnership between the United States and Guatemala. Harris announced new initiatives to strengthen this partnership, including the Central American Service Corps, benefiting up to 25,000 Guatemalan youth, and a $50 million investment to bolster security, justice, and women's economic empowerment in Guatemala. An 'additional' $170 million, including $135 million from planned USAID investment, will support development, economic, health, and security assistance, focusing on biodiversity, corruption, agri tech, and health. The Partnership for Central America has drawn $5.2 billion in investments to boost economic opportunities and reduce migration from Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Today, I welcomed President Arévalo to the White House to congratulate him in person on his inauguration, and to reiterate our commitment to a strong partnership between the United States and Guatemala. https://t.co/db8NbRv64E
