GUATEMALA CITY - In a bid to strengthen an asylum deal forged between Guatemala’s outgoing president and the United States, a U.S. official offered on Monday to triple the number of temporary farmworker visas available to Guatemalans.
The deal, known as a “safe third country” agreement, is meant to reduce U.S. asylum claims. While hailed by Trump, it has also provoked widespread criticism from rights groups citing the risks of sending vulnerable people to a country with endemic poverty and violence. On a trip to Guatemala this week, White House Latin America adviser Mauricio Claver-Carone sought to shore up support for the deal.
