I had the honor of joining Guatemala’s President Bernardo Arevalo to discuss Vice President Harris’s Root Cause strategy. The leadership of the Vice President and her national security team @PhilGordon46 has advanced democracy and development in the region—strengthening U.S. national security and economic competitiveness.

Grateful to speak to @washingtonpost on Vice President Harris and her national security team’s @PhilGordon46 indisputable record building alliances and partnerships to tackle the root causes of the complex challenge that is migration:
“In May 2021, she issued a “call to action” to tackle the root causes of migration from northern Central America. She met with a dozen CEOs at the White House to encourage investment in the region to create jobs and improve supply chains by moving overseas operations closer to the United States.
They began with $750 million in investments, loans, housing and other resources.
Since then, more than 50 companies have gotten involved, and total investment has surpassed $5.2 billion and created more than 70,000 jobs in the region, said Jonathan Fantini-Porter, the CEO of the Partnership for Central America, the nonprofit that oversees the implementation of the effort.
Columbia Sportswear, Nespresso and auto-parts manufacturer Yazaki North America Inc., and others created thousands of manufacturing and farming jobs in the region.”
