A State Department spokeswoman on Friday disputed a top White House official’s claim that President Biden had secured agreements with Central American countries to address the border crisis.
While White House aide Tyler Moran told MSNBC on Monday the administration had reached security deals with Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala, a State Department spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon no such agreements are in place.
“While we are coordinating efforts, no agreements have been established,” the spokeswoman said. “Each of the countries has decided on how to strengthen border security in ways that are appropriate for them, and we have seen the result in increased access to protection, apprehensions of irregular migrants, greater numbers of checkpoints, and the successful dispersal of large, organized migrant groups.”
Moran said the administration reached agreements with the Latin American countries to secure their borders in an effort to deter smugglers and drug and child traffickers from coming to the United States.
