Trump convenes Latin American allies to confront cartels and pressure Cuba

This cluster covers President Donald Trump’s meetings with more than a dozen Latin American leaders at his Doral golf club and the Shield of the Americas Summit in Miami. Across speeches and events, Trump pushes for a multinational coalition against drug cartels while issuing sharp warnings to Cuba. The reposts highlight both his public remarks and the regional diplomatic effort to align hemispheric partners around security and narcotics policy. Together, they capture a moment when U.S.–Latin America relations were framed heavily around cartel crackdowns and Cuba’s role in the region.
