President Donald Trump has officially launched 'Shield of the Americas,' a 17-nation military coalition designed to combat and destroy drug cartels using lethal force. He assembled a squad of 12 Latin American leaders in person for the announcement, including El Salvador's controversial but popular President Nayib Bukele and Argentina's firebrand leader Javier Milei. The plan is to use military power to go to war with these powerful criminal organizations. However, some of the biggest players in the region—Mexico, Brazil, and Colombia—were noticeably absent from the summit, raising questions about how effective this coalition can be without their involvement.
