During her first overseas trip as vice president, Kamala Harris stressed the connection between the environment and migration that has overwhelmed the United States’s southern border in recent months. «Recently there’s been a lot of talk about eco-preneurs—entrepreneurs who are focused on climate, focused on what might happen, which is to protect our environment but also see the capacity for jobs and economic development as a connection with that pursuit,» Harris told reporters during a briefing alongside Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei in Guatemala City, Guatemala on Monday. Harris is visiting central America this week to discuss the border crisis and other issues with foreign leaders. President Joe Biden has tasked her with addressing the root causes of the migrant influx stemming from the Northern Triangle of Central America.
