Latin American allies of Trump agree to classify drug cartels as terrorists

Latin American allies of former President Trump have agreed to classify major drug cartels, such as Brazil's PCC and CV, as terrorist organizations. This accord includes plans for sanctions against these groups. The initiative aligns with a broader strategy discussed at the UN, where Trump also reiterated threats of military action against Iran.

The move signals a potential escalation in regional security policy, drawing on agreements like the Rio Treaty to combat transnational crime. By labeling drug cartels as terrorist entities, these nations aim to leverage international cooperation and potentially more stringent measures to disrupt their operations.
