🇺🇸 President Donald Trump: “We Have to Use the Military Against Cartels.”
Speaking at the Shield of the Americas Summit, Trump called for the creation of a new multinational effort aimed at dismantling powerful drug cartels operating across the Western Hemisphere.
The proposal centers on forming an Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (ACCC) that would classify major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations and coordinate joint military operations with willing Latin American partners. According to the plan, participating countries could receive expanded access to U.S. weapons systems, intelligence sharing, and military training.
Trump argued that the United States can no longer tolerate the growing influence of transnational criminal networks near its southern border. He said Washington is prepared to provide significant security assistance to regional allies willing to take part in the initiative.
However, the absence of key countries—including Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia—raised immediate questions about how much support the proposal will receive across Latin America, where governments have historically been cautious about foreign military involvement in domestic security matters.
The announcement has sparked debate about whether military force is the right approach to combat transnational drug trafficking networks.
Should the U.S. military be used to dismantle drug cartels?
