During his Washington visit, Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo secured a $170 million pledge from the U.S.

This fund will enhance health, development, and security in Guatemala, aiming to address migration’s root causes.

Arévalo’s discussions with Vice President Kamala Harris and later, President Joe Biden, focused on key issues like migration and anti-corruption efforts.

Biden highlighted the reinforced U.S.-Guatemala partnership in his X post.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Oh please!!  Does anyone believe for one second Guatemala is going to stop anyone from leaving while it rakes in millions?  That means they have fewer people to care for and more money, if it doesn't get to the presidente's bank account first.
