Guatemala has agreed to carry out joint military strikes with the United States against drug trafficking groups operating within its borders, according to a report by The New York Times, marking a dramatic escalation in President Donald Trump's anti-cartel strategy across Latin America.
The agreement, first reported Thursday, reportedly followed discussions between Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Operations could begin as early as next month, according to officials familiar with the talks.
