Peru joins US-led Shield of the Americas security coalition after Rubio visit
Peru announced it will join the Shield of the Americas, also known as the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition (ACCC), a US-led regional security alliance that shares intelligence and cooperates in military operations against drug cartels. Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori announced the move following talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio during his three-country tour of South America. The announcement drew protests in Lima over concerns about US military influence and erosion of Latin American sovereignty.
