NewzU.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced in Panama that the United States intends to expand its anti-narcotics operations to include ground-based attacks against drug traffickers in Latin America. This strategy marks an extension of current U.S. efforts, which have primarily focused on intercepting suspected smuggling vessels in international waters.
The initiative is part of a broader policy framework under the administration of President Donald Trump. By shifting focus from maritime interdiction to land-based operations, the U.S. government aims to intensify its regional counter-narcotics campaign.
