Trump Hosts ‘Counter-Cartel Coalition’ at Golf Club, Brags About ISIS Experience
KEY POINTS
- •Donald Trump hosted 12 Latin American leaders at his Miami golf club on Saturday to discuss regional cooperation.
- •He proposed a 'counter-cartel coalition,' likening it to the previous coalition formed against ISIS.
- •The White House called the event the ‘Shield of the Americas’ summit, focusing on economic and political countermeasures against Chinese influence.
On a sunny Saturday, Donald Trump switched from Iran to Latin America faster than you can say 'Shield of the Americas.' At his very exclusive Miami golf club—because where else do you solve complex geopolitics?—Trump hosted 12 regional leaders to chat about forming a 'counter-cartel coalition.' Inspired by his 'coalition to eradicate ISIS,' he confidently declared the war on cartels was next. The spectacle was dubbed a summit by the White House with the same punch as a tax audit party. While Trump swaggers on fairways, Latin American reps probably just hoped for some good golf advice.
