Trump Announces Military Coalition With Latin American Leaders to Eradicate Cartels

President Donald Trump on March 7 welcomed his Latin American allies to Florida for a summit to address regional issues, including drug cartels and illegal immigration, as well as counter China’s growing influence in the region.

“On this historic day, we come together to announce a brand new military coalition to eradicate the criminal cartels plaguing our region,” Trump said as he began his remarks at the summit.

“We’re calling this military partnership the Americas’ Counter-Cartel Coalition.”

The event, called the Shield of the Americas Summit, is taking place at Trump National Doral Club in Miami and is the first such regional meeting to bring together, as the State Department described, “like-minded allies” in the Western Hemisphere.

The heads of state of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Paraguay, and Trinidad and Tobago are attending today’s summit, the White House said.
