Trump Reaches Asylum Agreement With Guatemala

President Donald Trump said he has reached an agreement with Guatemala on asylum with the aim of keeping out people who hope to find safety in the U.S.

The agreement, signed Friday, restricts U.S. asylum applications from Central America, The Associated Press reported.

Trump threatened Guatemala with tariffs and a travel ban earlier this week for stopping talks on its designation as a safe third country for asylum-seekers, The Washington Post reported. If designated, it would allow the U.S. to push migrants away from the southern border.

This is a developing story.
