US military deploying forces to southern Caribbean against drug groups
The deployment targets Latin American drug cartels labeled as global terrorist organizations amid a 375% increase in gang member arrests, reinforcing U.S. national security efforts.
- The United States has initiated the dispatch of military aircraft and naval vessels to the Southern Caribbean region to address threats posed by Latin American drug trafficking organizations.
- This deployment follows President Trump’s directive last week to prepare military options against cartels designated as global terrorist organizations.
- The deployment, expected to continue over several months, includes P-8 reconnaissance aircraft, warships, and attack submarines carrying out surveillance activities in international airspace and waters.
- The U.S. doubled its reward to $50 million for information leading to Nicolás Maduro's arrest, accusing him of heading the Cartel of the Suns, which Marco Rubio called “a drug-trafficking logistics organization.”
- This deployment highlights Trump’s emphasis on combating drug trafficking organizations within a broader strategy to strengthen border security and reduce migration flows, although legal authorities warn of possible issues under both U.S. and international legal frameworks.
