The leaders of the two countries discussed “cooperation on a number of bilateral and regional issues, in particular, on regional migration.” “The [US] president outlined his plan to reduce [the scale of] migration by addressing its root causes, expanding resettlement opportunities and legitimate alternative routes of immigration, increasing border processing of asylum requests, and removing the previous administration’s draconian immigration policies.” said in a statement released by the White House.
