War Secretary Pete Hegseth boasted Thursday that the Trump administration has achieved “operational control of our southern border” and all but stopped the flow of suspected drug trafficking boats to the US from South America. As the American war with Iran entered its sixth day, Hegseth sought to reassure officials from the Caribbean, Central America and South America that Washington has not forgotten its own hemisphere. “President Trump recognizes the wisdom of the Monroe Doctrine, and the days of us betraying and endangering our own citizens are finished,” Hegseth said in kicking off the Americas Counter Cartel Conference at the US military’s Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) in Doral, Fla.
