Pentagon shifts focus from Caribbean to Pacific to combat US drug trafficking routes
Pentagon shifts its strategy to strike suspected narcotraffickers in the eastern Pacific Ocean, seeking a stronger link between targets and US drug trafficking. The change follows administration officials prioritizing this region to combat global narcotics.
The Pentagon has deliberately shifted its strategy to targeting suspected narcotraffickers in the eastern Pacific Ocean, seeking a stronger link between targets and US drug trafficking, as part of efforts to disrupt global supply chains and combat organized crime. The change in focus is reportedly driven by administration officials' desire to build more direct connections between military operations and counter-narcotics efforts. By targeting traffickers in the Pacific, the US aims to cut off key routes for cocaine and other illicit substances. This new approach reflects a broader effort to integrate military strategy with law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
