“US policy under Trump, which confounds terrorism with criminal activity, is a cover for projecting military domination. Claiming the prerogative to unilaterally intervene in the sovereign territories of neighboring states to fight cartels or murdering a boat’s crew in the Caribbean are not solutions. Latin American leaders are turning the spotlight back on Washington. They point to US gun policies, consumer demand, and ulterior motives behind Washington’s renewed ‘war on drugs,’ such as the current regime-change offensive against Venezuela. The drug problem won’t be solved by scapegoating Latin America, when the US has yet to address root causes at home.” (09/16/25)
