NewzU.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced in Panama that the United States plans to expand its counter-narcotics operations to include land-based strikes against drug traffickers in Latin America. This initiative represents 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 targeting criminal organizations on land, the U.S. aims to intensify its efforts to disrupt drug trafficking networks operating within the region.
