Rather than hurting Latin America's drug trade, U.S. strikes on vessels Washington claims are ferrying drugs to American soil might be benefiting drug lords by causing a supply crunch. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/24/world/crime-legal/us-drug-strikes-explainer/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #crimelegal #us #donaldtrump #venezuela #colombia #drugs #gangs #trade

Are U.S. strikes hurting Latin America's drug trade?

In short, no.

@thejapantimes
I cannot read the article. If they are in fact damaging supply, how is that benefitting drug traffickers? They already operate as a monopoly, they do decide the amount of supply. How is being attacked beneficial?
