At the 81st United Nations General Assembly, US President Donald Trump pledged to use "unmatched military might" against drug cartels, equating them with global terrorist groups and designating them as foreign terrorist organizations. He emphasized a firm stance against threats near US borders and highlighted the Shield of the Americas coalition aimed at combating transnational crime. Trump also announced a defense agreement with Denmark and Greenland to secure Arctic interests, framing it as a strategic expansion of US security in the Western Hemisphere.
