US deploying military assets to Caribbean as part of cartel mission

The U.S. military is deploying troops to the southern Caribbean as part of the Trump administration‘s desired crackdown on drug cartels in Central America.

President Donald Trump has sought to use the military more to stop drug cartels, several of which the administration has already designated as foreign terrorist organizations. It’s been one aspect of Trump’s focus on securing the U.S. southern border and stopping the flow of illegal immigration and smuggling into the country.
