US sends extra forces to Caribbean to deter drug cartels
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The United States is sending additional military forces to the Caribbean and Latin America. The measures are being taken as part of the fight against drug cartels, CNN reported on August 16, citing two Pentagon officials.

The TV channel's interlocutor specified that we are talking about more than 4,000 Marines. In addition, a nuclear attack submarine, an additional P8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft, several destroyers and a cruiser with guided missiles were also sent to this area, which is the area of responsibility of the US Army's Southern Command.

“The additional funds are aimed at eliminating threats to US national security from <…> narco-terrorist organizations in the region,” said a source familiar with the situation.

For now, the strengthening of the group in the Caribbean is mostly demonstrative, one official explained. However, he noted, if US President Donald Trump orders military action against drug cartels, the military will have more options for action when strengthening the group.

The New York Times reported on August 8 that the White House chief issued a secret directive instructing the Pentagon to begin preparing to use military force against a number of Latin American drug cartels that the Trump administration has designated as terrorist organizations.

Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth said in March that if Mexican authorities continue to do nothing against local drug cartels, the United States will be forced to take decisive action. At the same time, businessman and former head of the US Department of Government Effectiveness Elon Musk said that the only way to deal with Mexican cartels is to conduct a special operation in Mexico.
