The Multi-Geographic War on Drugs and Latin American Politics Guest: Professor Evan Ellis Professor Evan Ellis details the complex, multi-geographic war on drugs, noting the Department of Defense is leading strikes against designated terrorist groups, including Venezuela's Cartel de Los Soles. The deployment of the USS Gerald Ford Battle Group to the Caribbean raises speculation about potential land strikes against criminal leadership in Venezuela, though this carries considerable geopolitical risks. Ellis also discusses the surprising electoral success of Argentina's President Javier Milei, which strengthens the center-right political trend across Latin America.
