[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The United States has ordered the deployment of spy planes, a warship and even a submarine to the Southern Caribbean Sea to address the growing threat posed by Latin American narco mobs.
The directive marks yet another escalation by President Donald Trump
...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US...
, who has long wanted to use the military to go after the narco gangs that he has designated as global terrorist organizations.
Just last week, he had ordered the Pentagon to prepare military options in the region, and the Department of Defense has now ordered the deployment of US air and naval forces, two sources briefed on the decision told Rooters.
The Trump administration has also previously deployed at least two warships to help in border security efforts and drug trafficking - an issue that the president focused on in his campaign.
The US military has also already increased its airborne surveillance of Mexican narco mobs to collect intelligence to determine how to best counter their activities.
Trump has even offered to send US troops to Mexico to help combat drug trafficking, an offer Mexico refused.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum even declared that the country will never accept the presence of the United States Army in their territory.
'This deployment is aimed at addressing threats to U.S. national security from specially designated narco-terrorist organizations in the region,' one of the sources explained.
