The President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced on Tuesday that his administration will "very soon" begin ground attacks against drug traffickers in the Caribbean, escalating the level of military deployment in the region. According to the Argentine News Agency (NA), the statement was made by Trump during a Cabinet meeting at the White House. The head of state justified the imminent ground offensive, stating that it is a more effective method than maritime operations. "The land is much easier, and we know the routes they take," Trump declared. "We are going to start with that very soon." The announcement comes in a context of high tension in the area, where the United States was already maintaining a military deployment under the pretext of combating drug trafficking. The new threat of ground attacks could directly impact allied or adversarial countries in the region.
