Guatemala made a "historic" cocaine bust this month, assisted by US authorities.
The bust doubled the total amount of cocaine that Guatemala has intercepted so far this year.
Guatemala has made progress against drug trafficking, but corruption and weak governance allow the trade to remain robust.
Guatemalan marines and the US Coast Guard have made a "historic" bust of cocaine, intercepting at least three tons of the drug on a ship 300 nautical miles off the Central American country's coast in international waters.
