Giammattei later told Roberts that despite critics, Guatemala and the U.S. have a lot in common: “We are allies of U.S. allies.”
He noted that his government supports Taiwanese sovereignty as well as the fact it has one of the few international embassies in Jerusalem, Israel – where Trump moved the U.S. outpost during his term.
When asked if he feels the U.S. is a partner in economic development and trying to lift Guatemalans out of poverty, Giammattei remarked, “The day I meet [Biden] personally, I will ask him.”
Roberts later told “America Reports” co-host Sandra Smith that he asked about meeting Giammattei again after Biden eventually engages with him.
Giammattei, he said, responded, “We may be waiting a long time to meet.”
