The American vice-president Kamala Harris is this Monday in Guatemala, before going to Mexico tomorrow.
The objective of his first international trip: to discuss the issue of illegal immigration, a thorny issue entrusted by Joe Biden last March.
With a record influx of migrants to the Mexican border in April, there is an urgent need to develop a migration policy.
Details with Laurence Nardon, head of the United States program at the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri).
