While Guatemala's newly elected president said he cannot implement a migration deal his predecessor signed with the Trump administration, the State Department said Friday the two countries are working to implement it.
"In order to be a safe country, one has to be certified as such by an international body, and I do not think Guatemala fulfills the requirements to be a third safe country," said Guatemala's President-elect Alejandro Giammattei, according to an Associated Press report Wednesday. "We look forward to working with the Giammattei administration in areas of mutual interest, including addressing the underlying economic, security, and governance challenges that drive irregular migration," the spokesperson added.
Rather than moving to scrap the deal, however, Giammattei seems to be pushing the U.S. to make changes. He told the AP that annexes to the agreement are still being negotiated and members of his transition team should be involved in those talks.
