Creates program to help Latin American countries fight criminal groups linked to China.
This bill would create a new program to help law enforcement agencies in Latin America and the Caribbean. It would give them training and tools to fight criminal groups linked to the People's Republic of China (PRC), which are involved in activities like drug trafficking and illegal fishing. This aims to strengthen their ability to disrupt and prosecute these organizations.
Today, no specific U.S. government program under the Foreign Assistance Act helps Latin American and Caribbean law enforcement fight criminal groups linked to China. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of State would create such a program, offering training, technical help, and consultations. This would directly strengthen the ability of these foreign agencies to disrupt and prosecute these specific criminal organizations.
