Significance Support from Washington helped President Bernardo Arevalo take power in January, resetting relations after a period of strain under former President Alejandro Giammattei (2020-24). Arevalo intends for a US-backed anti-corruption drive to encourage private-sector investment in Guatemala, while Washington seeks Guatemalan assistance in addressing record migrant arrivals at its southern border. Impacts Violence will increase as corruption networks attempt to defend their positions. Stronger migration restrictions will exacerbate people-smuggling. Arevalo will act as an interlocutor in US talks with other Central American governments that have less friendly relations with Washington.
