Dec. 17 (UPI) -- The United States has designated Colombia's Clan de Golfo as a terrorist organization, the latest drug-trafficking cartel or gang to be blacklisted by the Trump administration during its war on drugs.
The State Department designated the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and a Specially Designated Global Terrorist on Tuesday.
"The United States will continue to use all available tools to protect our nation and stop the campaigns of violence and terror committed by international cartels and transnational criminal organizations," Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.
"We are committed to denying funding and resources to these terrorists."
