Trump urges five African nations to take deported migrants

The Trump administration urged five African presidents to accept migrants deported by the U.S., two officials told Reuters. The plan was presented Wednesday to the leaders of Liberia, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, and Gabon during a White House visit. It was unclear if any agreed, and none responded to requests for comment. President Trump has sought to accelerate deportations, including to third countries. A U.S. official said Liberia was preparing to house migrants in Monrovia under the proposed effort.
