US and 14 nations target 24 Latin American gangs with coordinated sanctions

The US and 14 other countries announced a coordinated effort to impose sanctions, asset freezes, and criminal measures against 24 gangs, including Los Lobos, Los Choneros, and Los Tiguerones. This marks a multilateral escalation in counter-narcotics and organized crime policy, signaling increased financial pressure on these groups. The effectiveness and scope of the measures remain to be seen, but the coordination suggests a strategic shift in regional security cooperation.
