Counter Cartel Coalition Under Scrutiny

The U.S. Justice Department has launched an investigation into Colombian President Gustavo Petro due to his alleged ties to drug traffickers. This unfolds alongside the newly established America's Counter Cartel Coalition, which consists of 18 countries working collaboratively to address the growing threats posed by transnational drug cartels. The Coalition aims to enhance military action and intelligence sharing to combat escalating violence linked to drug trafficking, particularly in the wake of recent accusations against Ecuador for cross-border military actions.
