The correct answer is that The United States helped overthrow Guatemalan President Guzman in the early 1950s because he was suspected of being a communist sympathizer.

In the year of 1954, The United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) deposed the Guatemalan President Jacobo Arbenz Guzman, because the reforms that he was doing in the country were seen as communist. When Jacobo Arbenz Guzman was elected, the social situation in Guatemala was very unequal, the American multinational The United Fruit Company owned several lands and exploited its employees, and there were no much fertile soil left for local farmers, so Arbenz Guzman made reforms that affected The United Fruit Company and helped the local farmers, along with legalizing the Communist Party. This created the idea that Guatemala could become a strategic location in the Americas for the soviets. Since the foreign policy of The United States was to fight against communism, US decided to overthrow the Guatemalan President.
