Secretary of State Tillerson is off to Latin America and drug traffic is on the agenda. This is a report from Robert Charles:
Today illegal drug trafficking into the U.S. from Latin America is off the charts. Coca production in Colombia is twice what is was just two years ago.So it's time to fight the cartels and our consumption. In other words, cartels are supplying drugs because we demand them.
Mexico is the leading channel for Chinese fentanyl into the U.S.
And socialist Venezuela – fast collapsing and corrupt – is now turning to trafficking Colombian cocaine to earn badly needed cash.
