Hundreds of anti-riot police entered a maximum security prison in Guatemala early Sunday to free guards who had been taken hostage and retake control of the facility that houses gang leaders.
In 1949, urging the U.S. to overthrow Guatemala's democratic government, lawmakers didn't say a word about the real motivation: bananas. In 2026, Trump can't stop talking about Venezuela's oil.
US lawmakers who opposed Guatemala's democratically elected leaders alleged communist subterfuge. They didn't mention the United Fruit Company's complaints before the 1954 coup.
