Peru joins Trump's Shield of the Americas anti-drug coalition

Peru's leader Keiko Fujimori announced the country will join the Shield of the Americas, a U.S.-led coalition against transnational organized crime, specifically targeting drug trafficking. This marks a formal alignment of Peru with U.S. security policy in the region, potentially expanding U.S. operational influence in the Andes. The move signals a shift in Peru's international posture, though details on commitments and scope remain unclear.
