(Reuters) -President Donald Trump's administration is pushing Serbia and other Balkan countries to take in migrants deported from the United States, Bloomberg News reported on Thursday.
The requests to countries in the region form part of a broader U.S. strategy to find foreign governments willing to receive deported migrants, Bloomberg reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
The White House, U.S. State Department and Serbia's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court let Trump's administration revoke the temporary legal status of hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian, and Nicaraguan migrants living in the United States, bolstering the Republican president's drive to step up deportations.
The Trump administration has been looking for possible destinations for the immigrants who could be deported as a result of the decision, the Bloomberg report said.
