Donald Trump’s government maintains a military deployment in the Caribbean Sea as part of an operation to combat drug cartels
The president of the United States, Donald Trump, has decided that his country is involved in a formal “armed conflict” with the drug cartels and that the members of these groups are “illegal combatants,” said his administration in a confidential warning to Congress seen by The New York Times.
The notice was sent this week to several Congress committees and gives a legal justification of why the three US military attacks that the president ordered against ships in the Caribbean Sea last month, which left 17 dead, left, which left 17 dead, were considered.
At the beginning of the year, the Trump administration designated a series of Mexican posters as “foreign terrorist organizations”, among which are Jalisco New Generation cartel; Sinaloa poster, the Gulf poster and the new Michoacan family; The Northwest poster, and United posters.
The blacklist also included the Venezuelan criminal band Train de Aragua for considering that they “represent a similar threat” and the Mara Salvatrucha or MS-13 of El Salvador.
In July, the US Treasury Department declared terrorist group to the Los Soles poster, which it accuses of collaborating with other criminal organizations such as the Aragua Train and the Sinaloa Cartel.
The Los Soles poster is one of the drug -related groups that the Trump government wants to fight with the recent shipment of a large military contingent to the Caribbean that has fired the tension with Caracas.
Nicolás Maduro and his officials have rejected the accusations of Donald Trump, who accuses them of leading the Suns cartel and sending drugs to the United States.
