President Trump emphasizes the importance of the western hemisphere and Latin America by participating in a second meeting of the “Shield of Americas” team. The objective of the assembly is to secure the western hemisphere, coordinate economic, political, and security efforts among participating countries to strengthen judicial practices, improve investment opportunities, and build hemispheric partnerships. The shield emphasizes intelligence sharing and coordinated operations to locate and dismantle drug cartel networks and associated criminal infrastructure.
Structure and Operations: The Shield of the Americas functions as a head-of-state level organization, working closely with the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (A3C), which is led by USSOUTHCOM and focuses on military and security operations against cartels. The coalition’s operational arm, the Americas Counter Cartel Conference, brings together defense and security ministers from member states to coordinate strategies against drug trafficking, organized crime, and threats to critical infrastructure. Participating countries gain access to U.S. military equipment, training, intelligence, and surveillance capabilities, including support from the U.S. Space Force’s Tactical Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking system.

Fortress America is what I voted for.
Get out NATO
Get out of conflicts in the Middle East.
You’re not impressed that he’s given a major speech and attended about 100 meetings today?
You’re not aware he’s the first President to deal with NATO problems and making progress in doing so? Ditto for the ME. And that he worked on both problems today?
You don’t care about the drug cartels basically taking over much of Latin and South America and Mexico before this administration stepped in? So you just ignore this work?
Wow.
I’m so grateful for everything he’s doing.
it’s a cheap shot to listen today and what you come away with is to imply
1) he’s not doing enough,
2) comp!ex problems can be settled in two years.
The complexity stems from the fact that NATO as an example is one of the places where the most of the richest people in the world feed? Ditto for the ME. What do you want? Maybe next time one of the ones who wants to keep their money and power will hire machine gunners or better yet bombers to take him out?
Or maybe you could give him a break and support him while he works harder and smarter than any President has ever done in modern times.
Or you could look for somebody better to vote for. Good luck with that.
Negativity bias, a cognitive bias where the brain processes and remembers negative stimuli more intensely than positive or neutral ones…
It often manifests as jumping to conclusions, a cognitive distortion involving mind-reading (assuming others have negative intentions).
You make yourself clear. I choose not to pretend otherwise.
If you find value in studying bias, maybe you should consider bias in terms of getting stuck like a broken record.
For example: “No more wars!” Whereas in the nuclear age there can be situations where that is an issue with many concerns. Like for example the rich refusing to give up their feeding troughs. And the ability to kill millions in seconds.
Something else you might want to look into is appreciating what is being given. None of us gets what we want all the time. But on the bright side, right now we aren’t having to deal with the aftermath of a nuclear bomb.
And again—Thank you!
Mrs. Sunshine, I happen to really enjoy your short, succinct, to-the-point delivery style.
You say a lot in so little.
Keep it up!
To each his own.
🙄
Thank you MsWords. God bless you!
Trump ruined our country’s reputation and left us vulnerable to communists.
And he did it for ISRAEL.
Yawn

If PDT is actually going to eradicate the drug cartels in the Western Hemisphere he’s going to have to go after Carney and his allowing the Canadian fentanyl labs to continue to produce that poison thats still killing thousands of Americans daily
We had an incident at work….was on the step down unit….a patient suddenly became unresponsive, with a visitor with him, the girlfriend I think….that happens a lot in the ‘hood. They bring in the dope for their ‘loved one’ because they wanted it….
Popped some IV Narcan into the IV and voila…awake alert and oriented….its a miracle/s!
Supervisor called the CPD…Chicago Police Department…apparently this happened a day or two earlier, too…
Caring GF brought him some dope, he took it and he od’d…..probably tainted with fentanyl…
So yeah, lets get rid of all the cartels and those assisting them.
Wow
Wtf is an Aggie girl (assuming a fan or graduate of the school whose logo is literally “automatic teller machine”) doing in the cornhole known as Chicago.
You must be new here
If 8 years is new, then yes.
I’m guessing if there’s meth labs in the rural backroad county USA, where I reside, then there’s probably fentanyl labs somewhere too. I had no idea people who lived anywhere near me were cooking meth until they were arrested and a neighbor informed me.
He’s going to spend 2 years trying to stay out of jail.
He did this. What an utter fool.
bot bot bot
you are not a real person
to strengthen judicial practices……. The irony.
Comedy doesn’t write itself, or does it?
97% drop in narcotics trafficking into the USA. Panda must be sad.
The rightward shift in these Latin American elections is wonderful to behold. After all the years of lip service from BOTH sides of the aisle, finally a strong leader that our new allies can actually have faith in.
And Trump’s remark about the natural resources, and “don’t let anyone take them away from you”. Again, sad Panda.
Panda not worried about narcotics drug trafficking as Panda takes over California and federal forests and California towns in Siskiyou County to produce marijuana using illegal cancer causing pesticides such as Methomyl, pentachloronitrobenzene and cypermethrin that leave residue on the product and infect the users. Pesticides that sicken the LEOs and EMTs called to the scene. The enemy within, aka Governor Hair Gel and fiends in Sacramento, are Panda’s current allies especially with the legal drug laws due to California Proposition 64 masking the destroyed communities and natural resources in California.
What Trump is doing relating to Latin America is outstanding but the enemy within our borders is working diligently to make-up for it.
Sadly, we have succeeded in lowering Fentanyl Deaths by less than 20%.
I’m wondering where the 97% drop in Narcotics was reported. We both could be correct, depending on the specifics of the data.
He has reconfigured the world.
He truly has. Its amazing to watch.
His cabinet, the staffers and the key representatives must be having the time of their lives. I marvel on what it must be like to be a part of the whirlwind.
Just think how the life threads of all these disparate individuals have been ordered to cross as they have.
Almighty God weaves His tapestry.
It really is a tremendously awe-some thing to contemplate.
To everything there is a season…
Ordained…
And when one considers that it must be?
Overwhelming.
Just look at that picture…..talk about an all pro team. It just doesn’t get any better than that. ‘Makes a body proud…
It does, Remington.
And incredibly grateful.
I was thinking the same it’s a true dream team! 💥💥💥🇺🇸🦅✝️
Wiping the sweat on this smiling patriots face. That is definitely TEAM USA!
Elections have consequences! 😎🙏🏽
Amen to that Sister.
Of all President Trumps foreign policy initiatives, I’m most excited by this (does not include deportations and H1B reforms).
A much underestimated policy choice:
In going after the cartels Trump is attacking the preferred “governance” (control) model of the New World Order — part of the cage they’ve been erecting for decades. The cartels are not just some peripheral adjuncts to generating dark money for the IC.
In the context of 5th generation warfare, attacking the cartels (not just disrupting the drug trade as in previous administrations) is the equivalent of taking Guadalcanal and then initiating Operation Cartwheel… or landing on Sicily in ’43.
We are watching global grand strategy roll out, headline by headline (if you read CTH!).
The mainstream news outlets are simply filling the roles of Tokyo Rose and Lord Haw Haw. IYKYK
It’s kind of strange but I find myself thinking of a song from the Byzantine Cathothic church mass tonight after reading all the things President Trump did today.
The song goes something like “God grant him, God grant him , many blessed years.”
One of the greatest and most impactful initiatives so far in this century. Good guys finally go on offense.
Whew! It was a task keeping up with President Trump and First Lady Melania today!
❤️🤍💙
The “Americasss Fortress” concept: Proponents need to explain how the U.S. benefits by combining forces with Latin American tyrants and Latin American governments corrupted by criminal organizations. Tyranny and corruption are persistent features south of the border. Worse, too many of the 20+ million Latin invaders over the past 20 years or so will do to the U.S. what they have already done south of the border;-(
Very good!
Fabulous networker and builder, President Trump
Incredible what Trump is doing to make the hemisphere safer for law abiding people! He’s doing the opposite of what Obama, Biden, and other lesser presidents have done. They have done nothing about the drug trafficking problem throughout the hemisphere. Doing nothing=encourages crime, death, and destruction. These presidents stepped aside when the CIA ran drug trafficking across the world, and when the CIA backed regimes in Central and South America that encouraged drug trafficking and cartels.
Trump is addressing the problems caused by the cartels very directly by destroying the cartels every possible way.
He has done so much for Americans, Central Americans, and South Americans, and united many countries to work to end the devastation of drug trafficking crime.
