Definite article
Hi, there
Should I use the article "the" in these examples? With or without "the"?
The US pursued a similiar policy in Guatemala, toppling (THE) elected leader Jacobo Árbenz.
In 1944, Guatemalans waged a revolution, toppling (THE) U.S.-backed right-wing dictator Jorge Ubico.
Thank you

You are correct; you would use "the" when using U.S. as a noun. If you were to use it as an adjective, you would not use "the". (For example "U.S. aggression has been a source of tension in the Middle East.")
