GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) -U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris promised U.S. support to tackle issues such as corruption, in meetings with Guatemalan civil society leaders on Tuesday as the United States seeks to stop an increasing number of migrants fleeing the region.

"I'd love to get your thoughts on policies and in particular which U.S. policies ... have and have not worked in the past," Harris told the virtual roundtable.
