In Latin America, a US military effort is expanding. The campaign initially targeted boats suspected of transporting drugs. Now, the US aims to work with countries in the region to conduct joint operations on land.

Some nations have agreed to participate, but details are limited. Guatemala has denied reaching an agreement, despite earlier reports. The US plans to work with allied countries to address criminal activity.

Further information on this development is available from NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth. The expansion of the US military campaign is a notable shift in strategy, but specifics on the operations and participating countries are not fully clear.
