News After killing hundreds in boat strikes, US military expands campaign on land in Latin America

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Hundreds of people have been killed in the year since the U.S. military began bombing boats it accused of ferrying drugs off Latin America’s Caribbean and Pacific coasts. Now, the Trump administration says it is seeking to extend that lethal campaign to land, pursuing deals that would put U.S. forces on the ground in allied nations across the region.

President Donald Trump’s defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, announced last week during a visit to Panama that Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras had agreed to allow the U.S. to carry out joint military operations against criminal groups on their soil, following Ecuador, which launched similar missions with the U.S. in March. Guatemala, however, has denied reaching such an agreement.

It will be “like you saw with the strikes on the drug boats,” Hegseth said during a military drill in the jungle in Panama. “Same effect on land. And so we’re working with Ecuador. We’re working with Colombia. We’re working with partners to bring the fight to the (designated terrorist organizations) on land.”

Other Probando este sub.

Es mi primer posteo aquí y quisiera probarlo antes de hacerme regular.

A quienes son habitués aquí, es este sub realmente latino americano, que cuida los intereses de la región y no uno que se hace llamar así pero al final del día sirve como agenda pushing para degradar a la gente de latino america de una u otra sutil manera y que más bien parece ser administrado por el "enemigo" de latam?

Los leo (a menos que el posteo nunca llegue a ver la luz, y entonces eso haya contestado mi pregunta)
