Senior US officials met Guatemalan President-elect Arevalo in Washington

Senior officials of the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden, including U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan, met Guatemalan President-elect Bernardo Arévalo in Washington on Tuesday, the White House said in a statement.

The American officials expressed the U.S. government's support for Arévalo "following last week's undemocratic efforts to undermine the will of the Guatemalan people, intimidate election authorities, and prevent the peaceful transition of power," the White House said.
