Trump Meets with Outgoing Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales

HeadlineDec 18, 2019

President Trump met with outgoing Guatemalan President Jimmy Morales in the White House Tuesday, where the two discussed immigration and trade. Morales has previously signed a “safe third country” agreement with the United States, which allows the United States to deport migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to Guatemala. But Guatemala’s President-elect Alejandro Giammattei has expressed reservations about continuing this agreement. He will take office in January. He was not present at Tuesday’s meeting, which was also rumored to include Trump adviser Stephen Miller.
