US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has urged Central American governments to do more to help contain immigration to the United States, while Vice President Kamala Harris is gearing for her first trip to Guatemala and Mexico, aiming to lower migration from Central America. Speaking at a joint news conference with Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado, Blinken on Tuesday said the US wanted to hear from its partners in the region about their shared commitment to managing migratory pressures. “Good governance is crucial for confronting the challenges and seizing the opportunities of this moment, and yet we meet at a moment when democracy and human rights are being undermined in many parts of the region,” Blinken told reporters.More Related News
