On Monday, she detailed these efforts during a virtual meeting with the country\u2019s president.<\/p>\n<p>Harris appeared all too eager to send billions of taxpayer dollars overseas. This also apparently includes funding to counteract so-called climate change and fund extreme weather preparations in the Central American country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe United States plans to increase relief to the region, strengthen our cooperation to manage migration in an effective, secure and humane manner,\u201d Harris asserted.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Today I hosted Guatemala President Giammattei for a virtual meeting. We&#8217;re working together to address the immediate needs of the Guatemalan people, deliver relief, and deepen cooperation on migration.
