WHY DID THE U.S. LEAD THE 1954 COUP IN GUATEMALA?

Which argument is stronger for this question :

The U.S. government led the 1954 coup in Guatemala to stop communism from spreading into the western hemisphere.

or

The U.S. government led the 1954 coup in Guatemala because the United Fruit Company and the CIA framed Arbenz as a communist to get him out of power.

Answer:  As the Cold War heated up in the 1950s, the United States made decisions on foreign policy with the goal of containing communism.

And the first argument is stronger depending on what your evidence and reasons are.
