The below is attributable to Spokesperson Tammy Bruce:

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spoke with Paraguayan President Santiago Peña today. Secretary Rubio congratulated President Peña on Paraguay's first ever Foreign Military Sales purchase - the acquisition of a primary radar system from a U.S. company in February. This purchase will support aerial surveillance to counter narcotics and weapons trafficking, while supporting economic growth for both countries.

Secretary Rubio and President Peña affirmed the enduring nature of the U.S.-Paraguayan bilateral relationship and reiterated their interest in deepening our partnership on topics such as defense, counternarcotics, and ICT infrastructure.
