WASHINGTON: Vice President Kamala Harris (pix) told Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei during a virtual call Monday the US will give $310 million (RM 1.2 billion) in humanitarian relief to Central America, her office said, as the region tackles a wave of migration north.

Harris, who leads President Joe Biden’s efforts to address the influx of migrants from Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador to the US-Mexico border, met with Giammattei by videoconference, prior to her visit to Central America scheduled for June.
