Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo de León offered for the nation to receive 40% more deportation flights from the U.S. as it gears up to become a "safe third country" as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.
The country is currently receiving 14 flights a week, according to regional outlet El Faro, with the figure potentially going up to 20. It has also reportedly promised to expand diplomatic and commercial relations with Taiwan, getting in exchange support the construction of a port and other projects that the president has promised, as well as the unfreezing of USAID funding for anti-drug cooperation.
