ATHENS/ROME (Reuters) - Greece and Italy denied on Friday a report that said they had agreed with the United States to resettle some migrants from Latin America on their territory in an effort to discourage them from travelling to the U.S. border with Mexico.

CBS News reported on Thursday that the scheme would involve Greece and Italy welcoming a small number of migrants processed at migration offices that the U.S. administration set up last year in four Latin America countries to screen people who hope to reach the United States.
