Peru joins Trump-led Hemisphere Shield
Peru has decided to join the "Americas Shield," the international coalition launched by U.S. President Donald Trump to combat drug trafficking. This decision comes amid rising and accelerating crime rates in the country. Peru, with a population of 34 million, has experienced a significant increase in murders—estimated at 2.6 times higher between 2018 and 2025—marking its worst security crisis since the end of the conflict with communist armed groups. Officials confirmed that this move will strengthen cooperation in information sharing, legal collaboration, and security efforts with other member countries, including Argentina, Chile, and Panama. Colombia, the world's largest cocaine producer, is also expected to join, further bolstering efforts to combat drug production and trafficking.
