Harris to meet virtually with Guatemalan president, plans Central America trip

Vice President Harris is ramping up her engagement on immigration-related duties, with multiple talks planned for the coming days and a trip to Central America in the works, but still has no scheduled time at the US southern border as the crisis there shows no signs of slowing down.

Harris is hosting a roundtable Thursday morning of “foundation leaders on the Northern Triangle,” the White House said. The administration did not elaborate on the plans for Thursday’s gathering, but the veep described her role as “bringing together” cabinet secretaries and other “foundation leaders from across our country” to discuss the immigration issue.
