Trump's new counterterrorism strategy neutralizes 'hemispheric terror threats'

President Donald Trump’s new counterterrorism strategy, which he signed on Tuesday, “prioritizes the neutralization of hemispheric terror threats,” according to Dr. Sebastian Gorka, the senior director for counterterrorism in the administration.

The prioritization of cartels and gangs in the Western Hemisphere is not surprising, rather, it’s in line with the president’s National Defense Strategy and National Security Strategy, both of which emphasize the importance of stopping these entities.
