NewzU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is beginning a three-nation tour of Latin America on Tuesday. The diplomatic trip involves meeting with U.S.-aligned, Trump-friendly conservative leaders in the region.
The primary focus of the tour is to advance U.S. counter-drug priorities. This diplomatic outreach coincides with the Trump administration increasing military operations aimed at combatting drug trafficking.
Beyond counter-narcotics efforts, the administration's engagements are part of a broader strategy to secure further diplomatic and strategic inroads within the Western Hemisphere.
