The legislation would authorize funding and support for security cooperation programs between the United States and Caribbean nations to address threats like drug trafficking, gang violence, and terrorism in the region. It would provide resources for training, equipment, and joint operations with Caribbean law enforcement and military partners to strengthen their ability to combat these transnational crimes. The bill affects U.S. foreign policy priorities, Caribbean governments, and ultimately communities in both regions dealing with drug trafficking and organized crime.
