The United States donated nearly $14 million worth of security equipment to Costa Rica in a bid to stamp out crime in the Central American country, which is facing an "extremely high" murder rate, Costa Rican President Rodrigo Chaves said on Tuesday.
The donation includes telecommunications equipment, drones and maintenance equipment for police planes to aid security forces in border control, and "above all else, in the fight against international criminal gangs," Chaves said.
