US resumes arms shipments to Guatemala after 47-year embargo

The US delivered $5 million in military equipment, including grenade launchers and rifles, to Guatemala, ending a 47-year arms embargo. This marks a significant shift in bilateral security cooperation, with both governments framing the move as a counter-organized crime measure. The resumption signals a deepening US security partnership in Central America, though the specific terms and conditions of the transfer remain undisclosed.
