Last update: 8 hours agoU.S.-Backed Security Escalation in Central America: Guatemala says it has requested expanded U.S. military cooperation to help target drug trafficking, including access to equipment, training, and experts, while stressing there’s no agreement for foreign troops to operate on Guatemalan soil. The move follows talks between President Bernardo Arévalo and U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and is framed as an intensification of existing counternarcotics work, with reporting also suggesting Washington may press Honduras to accept similar joint action. Regional Crime Crackdown: The U.S. also designated Brazil’s Red Command (CV) and First Capital Command (PCC) as terrorist organizations, a step Brazil’s leadership opposes but which Washington says enables broader law-enforcement and intelligence actions. Honduras Context: Amid ongoing insecurity debates, one op-ed argues there is “no genocide in Honduras,” pointing to high homicide levels and long-running states of emergency as the real issue. Sports With Political Reach: Argentina named Lionel Messi captain for the World Cup and set a June 6 friendly vs Honduras, while FIFA tournament planning also includes discussion of VAR use.
