On December 5, local time, the Peruvian Congress passed a legislative resolution with 73 votes in favor, 25 against, and 2 abstentions, authorizing US military personnel to carry out cooperation and training missions in Peru from January 1 to December 31, 2026, and to allow them to enter the country with weapons. The US military will conduct joint exercises with the Peruvian armed forces and national police in 15 regions. The Peruvian Congress said that this type of deployment is a common cooperation for many years and has nothing to do with recent regional tension between the US and Venezuela.
