U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio arrived in Guatemala on Tuesday for a 24-hour visit focused on migration, security, and regional cooperation.

Rubio was welcomed by Guatemalan Foreign Secretary Carlos Ramiro Martínez before heading to a private dinner with President Bernardo Arévalo. On Wednesday, he will oversee a deportation flight as part of the Trump administration’s intensified efforts to return migrants to Latin America.

This visit marks Rubio’s first foreign trip as Secretary of State, part of a broader tour across Central America. Talks are expected to cover migration policy, security cooperation, and Panama Canal operations amid growing U.S. concerns over regional stability.
