Maritime Drug Activity Sees Decline After U.S. Military Action
Fox News correspondent Alexandria Hoff reported that maritime drug trafficking has dropped notably since the Trump administration authorized strikes on vessels suspected of transporting narcotics.
The operation targeted organized smuggling routes monitored in international waters. According to U.S. officials, these efforts aimed to disrupt major transport networks operated by cartels that previously used maritime routes to move large quantities of drugs toward the United States.
“We’ve taken decisive action against criminal networks using the seas to poison our communities,” said a senior administration official, noting that coastal surveillance and military coordination had been intensified following the strikes.
In the months following the operation, preliminary data from U.S. law enforcement suggested a measurable decline in maritime drug seizures, marking a significant shift in smuggling patterns that traditionally relied on ocean transit.
Author summary: Following U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats under Trump, maritime drug smuggling decreased as coastal monitoring and interdiction efforts expanded.
