At the headquarters of the U.S. Southern Command in Doral, Florida, U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, along with representatives from 17 other countries, signed a joint security declaration to combat “narco-terrorism” in the Western Hemisphere. It is called the Conference of the Americas Against the Cartels and was signed between March 4 and 5, 2026.
🖊️ Signatories: Argentina, Bahamas, Belize, Bolivia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, and Trinidad and Tobago. All governments are aligned with Washington.
🚫 Notable absentees: Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. The three countries with left-leaning governments did not send delegations. Mexico, where the cartels that prompted the entire conference operate, was not represented at the table.
Stephen Miller, White House national security advisor, was blunt: “The cartels can only be defeated with military power, not with legal solutions. They must be dealt with with the same brutality and cruelty with which we dealt with al-Qaeda and ISIS.”
Hegseth invoked the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and renamed it the “Donroe Doctrine,” combining Trump’s name with Monroe’s. He described the attendees as “Christian nations under God” and “children of Western civilization,” and warned: “The U.S. is prepared to go on the offensive only if necessary.”
The declaration is the prelude to “Shield of the Americas,” a summit Trump will host on March 7 with 12 allied presidents at his golf club in Miami.
