Guatemala on Wednesday pledged to accept 40% more deportation flights from the United States of nationals and people of other nationalities.

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo de León offered for the nation to receive 40% more deportation flights from the U.S. as it gears up to become a "safe third country" as part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo said Wednesday his country will accept migrants from other countries who are being deported from the United States, the second deportation deal that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reached during a Central America trip that has been focused mainly on immigration.
