The U.S. has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to a Puerto Rico airfield, according to Reuters.⁣
⁣
Sources briefed on the matter told the news agency the U.S. plans to conduct operations against drug cartels.⁣
⁣
The fighter jets add to an already existing U.S. military presence in the southern Caribbean.⁣
⁣
During his election campaign, U.S. President Donald Trump promised to crack down on groups, he claims, funnel drugs to the United States. ⁣
⁣
It comes days after U.S. forces attacked a boat Trump said was carrying “massive amounts of drugs” from Venezuela, killing at least 11 people.⁣
⁣
The strike appeared to set the stage for a sustained military campaign in Latin America. ⁣
