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

The U.S. military plans to expand its anti-drug operations from lethal boat strikes off Latin America's coasts to joint land campaigns. Pete Hegseth announced that allied nations including Colombia, Guatemala, and Honduras are expected to allow U.S. forces to conduct joint operations against criminal groups on their soil. Critics warn that this widening military campaign risks civilian casualties and is viewed as an attempt by the U.S. to impose its agenda through power projection.
