In a series of reports revealing the failures of the US military campaign to curb cocaine trafficking, officials have noted that despite 67 boat strikes resulting in at least 221 deaths, the flow of cocaine into the country has not diminished. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has contradicted claims made by Trump, highlighting that the strikes have had little to no impact on the drug trade. Experts are calling for a reevaluation of the current approach, suggesting that the military strikes have not only failed to reduce trafficking but may have also led to extrajudicial killings. The situation raises serious questions about the effectiveness of U.S. strategies in combating organized crime, prompting discussions on the need for a new direction in addressing these issues.
