Trump Threatens to Impose Travel Ban on Guatemalans
---------------------------------------------------

The Trump administration is threatening to impose a travel ban on
Guatemalans unless leaders of the Central American country take drastic
steps to curb undocumented immigration northward. On Wednesday, Trump
also announced plans to take "severe" actions against the Guatemalan
government, including enforcing tariffs on remittances sent by
Guatemalans living in the U.S. Trump's threats come after Guatemalan
President Jimmy Morales failed to sign a safe third country agreement
with the United States. The agreement would have required Guatemala to
take in asylum seekers from around the world who originally had fled to
the United States in hopes of finding refuge.
