US-Guatemala Talks on Central American Asylum Seekers Hit Impasse

Ramon Taylor

   Major differences have surfaced between the United States and Guatemala
   over a proposed agreement to block Central Americans from seeking
   asylum in the U.S., dashing the Trump administration's hopes for a
   quick resolution of talks, according to an internal U.S. State
   Department report on the first full day of talks Thursday in Guatemala.

   A three-member State Department delegation traveled to Guatemala in
   search of approval of a seven-page draft White House agreement that
   would establish a "safe third country" protocol between the U.S. and
   Guatemala, as VOA first reported Thursday.
