US President Donald Trump has instructed the Pentagon to use military force against drug cartels operating in Latin America. According to the New York Times, this decision was made within the framework of strengthening the US strategy to combat drug trafficking.
The editorial office reports that the Trump administration considers the illegal entry of narcotics into the US by drug cartels a direct threat to national security. Based on the President's instruction, the Pentagon will prepare relevant military operation plans.
Political observers emphasize that this step could affect US relations with Latin American countries and bring security issues further to the forefront in the region.
