Summary:

Paraguay is a landlocked country in South America bordered by Argentina, Bolivia, and Brazil. The United States has had good relations with Paraguay for decades, providing assistance to counter corruption and spur trade and economic development. The United States and Paraguay also work together on counterterrorism and counternarcotics, among other security matters of interest to some Members of Congress. Recently, U.S.-imposed sanctions against top Paraguayan leaders have caused some bilateral tensions.
