Belize agrees to host migrants seeking asylum in US

Belize has agreed to host migrants seeking asylum in the United States. Under the agreement, migrants will be able to apply for asylum in Belize rather than the US. This arrangement is intended to help alleviate the burden on the US border. Belize's Prime Minister has stated that the deal will provide a safe haven for migrants while their asylum claims are processed. The specifics of the agreement, including the number of migrants Belize will accommodate and the duration of their stay, have not been disclosed. The move is seen as a diplomatic effort to address the ongoing migration crisis, with the Belizean government expressing its willingness to assist in finding a sustainable solution. However, the agreement has raised concerns about the capacity of Belize to handle the influx of asylum seekers and the potential impact on the country's resources and infrastructure.
