US Expands War on Cartels to Land | Jamaica News
Description
The U.S. is escalating its war on drug cartels from the sea to the land, launching a new coalition of 19 nations to strike directly at cartel strongholds in Latin America. Following controversial naval strikes that killed over 200, the Pentagon is now targeting cartels on their home turf — with allies like Ecuador and Colombia — framing them as existential threats akin to ISIS or Al Qaeda. Led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the American Counter Cartel Coalition aims to dismantle trafficking networks with full force, despite criticism over past operations. Mexico, with its left-leaning government, is notably excluded — a clear message to cartels: beware, the U.S. is coming.
