U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris will meet virtually on Monday with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei to discuss solutions to the surge of migration, Axios reported on Wednesday, citing a senior White House official.

Harris will visit the region in June, according to the report.

Harris said last week that she intends to visit Mexico and Guatemala soon as part of her plan to use diplomatic efforts to slow migration to the U.S.-Mexican border.
