Kristi Noem Thanks Trump After Being Named Special Envoy for “Shield of the Americas”
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem thanked President Donald Trump after he appointed her as special envoy for the “Shield of the Americas,” a new regional security initiative aimed at strengthening cooperation across the Western Hemisphere. Noem said she is honored by the appointment and pledged to work with partner nations to confront organized cr*me, dr*g cartels, and cross-border thre*ts. The initiative is designed to coordinate intelligence sharing and joint operations between the United States and allied governments in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Trump administration says the coalition will focus on dismantling cartel networks and improving regional security cooperation to defend U.S. interests and stabilize the hemisphere.
