Netherlands Halts US Drug Missions in Caribbean
Published 1 week ago
Description
The Netherlands withdraws from US-led drug missions in the Caribbean, citing a rise in fatalities from American strikes on suspected smuggling vessels. Defense Minister Ruben Brekelmans announces the decision, emphasizing the Netherlands focus on arrests and prosecutions, not deadly force. The move marks a break from the long-standing partnership with the US, driven by concerns over aggressive tactics under the Trump administration. Tensions escalate following the US capture of Venezuelas Nicolas Maduro, which has drawn global criticism over sovereignty and international law violations.
