Excerpt: “The United States signed a Customs Mutual Assistance Agreement (CMAA) with El Salvador today, further strengthening border security and trade facilitation between the two countries. ‘We value our partnership with El Salvador in pursuing our mutual goal of stronger borders and more efficient trade facilitation. This expands on our already close partnership on border security and trade efforts,’ Troy Miller, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Commissioner, said during the signing ceremony. ‘Moving forward, our cooperation will enable safer and more secure trade — that benefits consumers and businesses alike, and strengthens our economies.’ … This CMAA reflects the United States’ commitment to its relationship and collaboration with El Salvador on a wide range of issues, including securing the countries’ borders against terrorists, combating drug traffickers, and disrupting the operations of transnational criminal organizations.”
