WASHINGTON: The Biden administration has secured agreements for Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala to place more troops on their borders, a White House official said on Monday amid the growing number of migrants arriving at the US-Mexican border.

Special Assistant to the President for Immigration for the Domestic Policy Council Tyler Moran earlier told MSNBC: "We've secured agreements for them to put more troops on their own border. Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala have all agreed to do this," CNN reported separately.
