Approval of U.S. troops to train Peruvian armed forces proves U.S. behind coup

Amid continuing social upheaval five months after the parliamentary coup against Pedro Castillo, the Peruvian Congress, controlled by the hard right, has approved the entrance of U.S. troops into national territory to train the Peruvian military and National Police beginning June 1st through the end of the year. This comes after Peru's Supreme Court ruled that protest is not a protected right under the 1993 Fujimori dictatorship-era constitution.
