U.S. Pushes More African Countries to Accept Migrants

“As President Trump met Wednesday with the leaders of five West African countries, his administration was pushing them to accept migrants deported by the U.S. whose home countries refuse or are slow to take them back,“ the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Before the leaders of Liberia, Senegal, Mauritania, Gabon and Guinea-Bissau arrived at the White House for the summit on economic and security issues, the State Department sent each country requests to take in migrants, underscoring the overlap between the administration’s aggressive deportation campaign and its foreign policy.”
