The United States is considering resuming migration accords with Cuba at a time tens of thousands of people are leaving the island to come to the U.S., Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas said Wednesday.
Officials from the two countries will meet in Washington on Thursday to discuss the current crisis.
“I don’t want to get ahead of the dialogue between the United States and Cuba, but everyone knows we have had migration accords with the country of Cuba for many, many years,” Mayorkas said in a press conference after a regional meeting in Panama to tackle migration challenges in the Western Hemisphere.
