According to recent statements, hostile actors engaged in drug trafficking are actively operating on vessels in international waters with the intent to flood the United States with deadly narcotics. These vessels are described as "naroterrorist" organizations—groups that not only traffic drugs but also pose a broader threat by bringing death and destruction into American communities. They are compared to terrorist organizations like al Qaeda within the hemisphere, emphasizing their dangerousness and the necessity of vigilant action.
