Rwanda confirms the talks with the Trump government to record migrants

Rwanda is in the “early phase” of talks with the Trump government to accept migrants depreciated by the United States, said the Federal Foreign Minister of the East African country, Olivier Nduhungire.

His comments come after US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said last month that Washington “actively searched for countries” that “would take some of the most loathous people”.

Nduhungirehe said that the talks were “not new to us” because Rwanda had previously agreed to accept migrants that were deported by Great Britain.

Great Britain, however, gave up the program, which had numerous legal challenges after Sir Keir Starrer Labor government started in office in July.

In conversation with Rwandische television, the government said that the government was in the “spirit”, “migrants who have problems all over the world”.

Nduhungirehe added that the talks with the USA were continued, and it was too early to predict their result.

Since his arrival in January in January, US President Donald Trump has focused on accelerating the removal of migrants without papers, with the promise of “mass shifts”.

In February, El Salvador offered to record criminals that were deported from the USA, including those with US citizenship, and they were housed in his mega-Jail.

Salvadore President Nayib Bukele said his government would do so “for a fee”.

Panama and Costa Rica have also taken in migrants that were deported from the USA.

Last week, a unrenal Rwandian official from the Washington Post announced that the country was “open” to take more migrants from the United States after accepting an Iraq in March.

The official added that the talks with the USA began shortly after Trump's inauguration in January.

Rwanda was previously criticized for his human rights record, including the risk that those who were sent to the East African nation could be deported to countries again in which they may have driven.

Rwanda, however, says that it is a safe place for refugees.
