La cooperación entre países sigue dando resultados contundentes contra el crimen transnacional: la @ArmadaColombia, en articulación con la @JIATFS 🇺🇸, incautó dos toneladas de clorhidrato de cocaína en el mar Caribe. En la maniobra, unidades de Guardacostas interceptaron dos embarcaciones 'Go Fast', capturaron a cinco sujetos y recuperaron 80 bultos arrojados al agua.
Esta operación representa un impacto superior a los 92 millones de dólares a las finanzas del narcotráfico y saca de circulación más de cinco millones de dosis. En la Patria Milagro los narcotraficantes no seguirán envenenando al mundo: estamos unidos con las naciones aliadas para extirpar este cáncer.

🇺🇸🤝🇯🇲 One year after Hurricane Melissa, the work of recovery continues, and so does the commitment of the United States to Jamaica.
From the earliest hours following the storm, Americans have worked shoulder to shoulder with Jamaicans to respond to urgent needs, restore essential services, and help affected communities rebuild. This response included the deployment of urban search-and-rescue teams from the Fairfax County and Los Angeles County Fire Departments to Jamaica to support rescue operations and debris clearing efforts.
Through US$24.5 million in U.S. foreign assistance, collaboration with the Government of Jamaica, and the efforts of American and Jamaican teams on the ground, our response has extended from emergency food, water, shelter, and medical care to supporting longer-term recovery.
Our relationship with Jamaica runs deeper than any single crisis. As Jamaica continues to rebuild, U.S. foreign assistance remains focused on helping affected communities recover and become more resilient to future disasters.

🇨🇴⚓️ La Armada de Nacional, en una operación combinada con la Fuerza de Tarea Conjunta Interagencial del Comando Sur de los Estados Unidos (JIATFS), incautó 1,2 toneladas de clorhidrato de cocaína que eran transportadas en una embarcación artesanal tipo viento y marea, al oeste del departamento del Chocó. Durante la operación, fueron capturados tres sujetos de nacionalidad colombiana.
💰 Este resultado evitó el ingreso de 58 millones de dólares a las finanzas de las organizaciones narcotraficantes e impidió la circulación de 3,1 millones de dosis de estupefacientes en los mercados ilegales.
🇨🇴🤝🌎 Con operaciones coordinadas y cooperación internacional, la Armada Nacional continúa cerrando el paso a las economías ilícitas y fortaleciendo la seguridad marítima en el Pacífico colombiano.

To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time.

Partners on Target
While tracking another target, a @CBP aircraft helped identify a go-fast vessel, setting off a rapid and coordinated response at sea. Working in close coordination with Mexican partners, @SEMAR_mx the interdiction showcased strong teamwork, swift action, and shared commitment in the fight against illicit trafficking. 🤝🚤🔥
Results:
• 46 packages seized
• 6 POB detained
• 1,268 kg

🚨📦 Casos exitosos como este demuestran el poder de la profunda cooperación bilateral 🤝, fruto de semanas de inteligencia compartida 🔍 entre la @DEAHQ y la @PoliciaColombia.
💪 Juntos, somos más fuertes contra el narcotráfico. 🇺🇸🇨🇴
¡Golpe contundente al narcotráfico!
La Policía Nacional acaba de lograr la mayor incautación de cocaína en el puerto de Cartagena de los últimos 10 años: 7,6 toneladas que tenían como destino los Países Bajos, en Europa.
En tan solo 75 días de Gobierno, nuestra Fuerza Pública ha incautado 132 toneladas de cocaína, valoradas en 6.108 millones de dólares.
¡No hay tregua contra el narcoterrorismo! Cada dosis que impedimos que llegue a las calles salva vidas, y cada dólar que les arrebatamos debilita sus estructuras criminales. Porque el dinero del narcotráfico es el combustible que alimenta todas las formas de violencia.
¡Esto es apenas el comienzo de la Patria Milagro!
¡Firme por la Patria!
¡Viva Cristo Rey!

Another trafficking run shut down through coordinated regional action. 🚨
A U.S. Government Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) detected a go-fast vessel and notified Costa Rica, @seguridadcrc, and regional partners. A Costa Rican interceptor was vectored toward the contact, and the MPA handed off tracking to a CBP, @CBP, aircraft before returning to base. The CBP aircraft later handed the contact off to a follow on U.S. Government MPA. Additional partner nation maritime and interceptor assets later reacquired the vessel and gained positive control.
3 persons on board detained.
76 bales seized.
Later confirmed: 1,804 kilograms. 📦🚫
