War on cartels (2025–present)
Ongoing US military anti-drug trafficking campaign since 2025
The war on cartels, also known offically as Operation Southern Spear, is a United States military and surveillance campaign launched in 2025 by the administration of US president Donald Trump with the declared aims of "detecting, disrupting, and degrading transnational criminal and illicit maritime networks". Some analysts say the operation is a hybridization of the war on terror and the war on drugs.
