Former Treasury Official on Trump’s Crackdown Against Latin American Drug Networks

Marshall Billingslea, former Assistant Secretary for Terrorist Financing at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, says President Trump has taken an aggressive stance against Latin American drug trafficking organizations—designating several as foreign terrorist groups and authorizing military strikes on drug-smuggling operations. He noted that certain networks have long trafficked cocaine from South America, generating significant revenue through criminal enterprises that have now become a focus of U.S. counter-narcotics efforts.
