US lifts 50-year arms ban on Guatemala
The United States has resumed delivering military equipment to Guatemala after a hiatus of nearly 50 years, in an effort to support the fight against drug cartels and protect the population. Guatemala received weapons and equipment valued at approximately $5 million, including M4 rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, and gear for special night operations. Washington had previously suspended the export of arms to Guatemala in 1977 during the internal conflict between security forces and armed groups.
