U.S. military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission: Reuters

U.S. military expansion in Latin America includes at least 13 strikes on drug vessels and deployment of 10,000 troops amid concerns of potential regional conflict.

  • Three U.S. officials told Reuters that military personnel tied to President Donald Trump’s Latin America mission were required to sign NDAs, an unusual step amid lawmakers’ concerns about mission secrecy.
  • U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth has tightened information controls since January, launching leak investigations, imposing a new press access policy for Pentagon-based journalists, and issuing an Oct. 15 memo requiring Pentagon staff to get permission before contacting Congress.
  • The Pentagon announced last week the deployment of the Gerald Ford aircraft carrier group to Latin America, adding roughly 10,000 troops to a buildup including guided missile destroyers, F-35 fighter jets, a nuclear submarine and around 6,500 troops.
  • Senator Lindsey Graham said President Donald Trump would soon outline `future potential military operations against Venezuela and Colombia`, raising concerns about possible attacks as Washington imposed sanctions on Gustavo Petro on Friday.
  • Experts note the military buildup’s scale and secrecy far exceed typical counter-narcotics missions, heightening regional concern as Washington recently doubled its reward for Nicolas Maduro to $50 million.
