July 27 (UPI) -- The United States and Guatemala reached an asylum agreement Friday that President Donald Trump said would provide safety for "legitimate" asylum seekers and cut down on human smuggling.
Trump signed the so-called "safe third country" agreement during an Oval Office meeting with Guatemalan Interior Minister Enrique Degenhart. If finalized, it would require migrants who travel through Guatemala to reach the United States to apply for asylum in Guatemala.
