U.S. would strengthen global fight against drug cartels and criminal groups.
This bill would strengthen the U.S. government's global fight against international drug trafficking and organized crime. It would give a State Department official more specific responsibilities and resources to combat these threats, including offering rewards for information and coordinating with other agencies. This means more focused efforts to protect Americans from criminal organizations operating worldwide.
Today, the Assistant Secretary for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs has general duties. If this bill passes, this official would report to a specific Under Secretary and have many new, detailed responsibilities. This includes a clearer mandate to fight international drug trafficking and organized crime, a dedicated allocation of up to $25,000,000 for rewards, and a requirement to use at least 20% of the Bureau's annual budget for these rewards programs.
