CENTRAL AMERICA-US: Source countries told they should deter exodus of minors
The presidents of Central America’s Northern Triangle — Salvador Sánchez Ceren of El Salvador, Otto Pérez Molina of Guatemala and Juan Orlando Hernández of Honduras — were invited by US President Barack Obama to a meeting at the White House on 25 July to discuss the surge of unaccompanied minors entering the US. They were told that they should deter more children from making the journey and that those who did arrive would be repatriated. All three had made it clear that resources were needed to foster the development that could provide the opportunities the migrants were seeking in the US, but all they heard was Obama calling on the US Congress to approve the emergency funds he had requested earlier in the month.
