The United States and Paraguay have signed an agreement that outlines the legal framework for the deployment of U.S. forces in the South American country, and paves the way for further strengthening defense and intelligence cooperation between the two countries, as the Trump administration strengthens military operations throughout the Western Hemisphere.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Paraguayan Foreign Minister Rubén Ramírez signed the so-called "Status of Forces" agreement at the U.S. Department of State on Monday. Both praised the agreement as a major advancement in the relationship, which will strengthen already strong counter-terrorism and drug enforcement measures. These agreements outline the legal requirements and exemptions for U.S. forces stationed in other countries, although no deployment to Paraguay has been announced yet.
