Mexico has told the United States that it plans to deploy 6,000 national guard troops near its border with Guatemala to help stem the flow of Central American migrants reaching the U.S.
"Among the points discussed, the delegation explained the operation of Mexico's National Guard, saying its priority will be southeastern Mexico, with 6,000 guard members deployed in the region," the Mexican Foreign Ministry said in aThe Mexican delegation, led by Foreign Secretary Marcelo Ebrard and Ambassador Martha Bárcena, met twice on Thursday with U.S. officials and more talks are scheduled Friday, the ministry said.
There was no mention in the statement of whether Mexico was willing to agree to a "safe third country" agreement, which would require Central American migrants to seek asylum in Mexico if they pass through that country en route to the U.S. The Trump administration has been pressing Mexico to commit to such a pact. Asked about the issue on Thursday, Vice President Mike Pence told reporters he didn't want to negotiate in public.
President Donald Trump plans to impose a 5 percent duty on all Mexico goods entering the U.S., beginning on Monday unless the two sides reach a deal to control the migrant flow.
