The U.S. Department of the Treasury has designated Venezuela's Cártel de los Soles, which claims is a criminal network linked to authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro, as a global terrorist organization. In the weeks since, several Latin American countries have followed suit.
The latest country to do so is Argentina, which announced on Aug. 26 that it had formally designated the cartel as a terrorist organization. The government said the move reflects international commitments made by President Javier Milei's administration to combat terrorism and bolster protections for the country's financial system.
