US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that three Guatemala-based groups, Los Lorenzanas, Los Huistas and Los Mendoza, would be designated as terrorist organizations.

In a social media post, Rubio stated that the groups have close ties to Mexican drug cartels and finance terrorist and criminal activities through illicit drug trafficking.

Emphasizing that the United States would continue its fight against these groups, Rubio said that President Donald Trump's administration would maintain a firm stance against violent narco-terrorist organizations and those who provide them with political support.
