The U.S. military in recent weeks has ramped up activity in the southern Caribbean — including conducting lethal strikes — following a Pentagon directive to use military force against drug cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations. Henry Ziemer, an associate fellow with the Americas Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, returns to the Warcast to discuss regional developments.
