Palau has struck a deal with the U.S.<\/a> to accept up to 75 deportees from the U.S. in exchange for $7.5 million in foreign aid.<\/p>\n

The agreement will allow “third-country nationals” who have never been charged<\/a> with a crime to live and work in the Pacific nation, which has a population of about 18,000 people, according to announcements Wednesday from President Surangel Whipps Jr.\u2019s office and the U.S. Embassy in Koror.<\/p>\n

“The United States deeply appreciates Palau\u2019s cooperation in enforcing U.S. immigration laws, which remains a top priority for the Trump administration,” the U.S. Embassy in Koror said in a statement. “In this regard, the United States granted $7.5 million<\/a> to address the needs of relevant Palau public services.”<\/p>\n

The agreement was formalized through a memorandum of understanding, with Palau citing labor shortages as a key motivation.<\/p>\n

“Palau and the United States signed a memorandum of understanding allowing up to 75 third country nationals, who have never been charged with a crime, to live and work in Palau, helping address local labor shortages in needed occupations,” Whipps’ office said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration will also provide $6 million to support Palau\u2019s struggling civil service<\/a> pension plan system and $2 million for new law enforcement initiatives, according to Whipps’ office.<\/p>\n

Palau, a former filming location for the long-running reality TV series “Survivor,” has long been a recipient of U.S. support and relies heavily on foreign aid, according to the New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Under a deal brokered during the Biden administration, Washington committed $889 million in aid over 20 years, according to the State Department.<\/p>\n

As the Trump administration ramps up mass deportations, many countries have agreed<\/a> to take illegal immigrants, including Uganda, Rwanda, Eswatini, South Sudan, Costa Rica, Panama and El Salvador.<\/p>\n
