The administration of US President Donald Trump is moving to slash funding for diplomatic and aid programs, which experts say could undercut the ability of the United States and partner governments to monitor and tackle organized crime in Latin America and beyond. The latest measures, which require approval from Congress, would cut 15% from the State Department budget, close bureaus and offices around the world, and reorganize the remaining functions of the US government’s diplomatic force.

The arrest of Guatemala’s most wanted fugitive marks a breakthrough in a years-long campaign to dismantle one of the country’s main drug networks. But the capture alone may not be enough to curb the group’s operations. Aler Samayoa Recinos, the alleged leader of the Huistas drug clan, was detained on March 11 in Chiapas, southern Mexico, after more than six years as a fugitive. Following his arrest, he was handed to Guatemalan authorities and transported to a courthouse in Guatemala City.
