NewzU.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced in Panama that the United States plans to expand its counter-narcotics operations by conducting attacks against drug traffickers on land within Latin America. This initiative marks a strategic shift from the current U.S. policy, which primarily focuses on intercepting suspected drug-smuggling vessels in international waters.
The proposed operations are part of a broader security strategy under the administration of President Donald Trump. By extending military-style engagement to land-based targets, the U.S. aims to intensify its efforts to disrupt narcotics trafficking networks operating throughout the region.
