Trump urges Shield of the Americas to sanction 24 Latin American gangs

President Trump called on member states of the 'Shield of the Americas' alliance, comprising the US and right-leaning South American governments, to impose sanctions on 24 gangs designated as foreign terrorist organizations. The move signals a coordinated regional counter-gang strategy, though the specific list and legal basis remain unclear. This could escalate US-led pressure on criminal networks and test alliance cohesion.
