March 7 (UPI) -- President Donald Trump announced at Saturday's "Shield of the Americas" summit in Florida that a new military coalition will focus on drug trafficking and cartels.
Trump said at the Doral meeting with 12 Latin American leaders that "America's Counter Cartel Coalition" will conduct operations against cartels across the region.
At least 17 nations have already signed on to the agreement.
"The heart of our agreement is a commitment to using lethal military force to destroy the sinister cartels and terrorist networks once and for all," Trump said. "We'll get rid of them. We need your help. You have to just tell us where they are."
