Coalition 'Shield of the Americas' Targets PCC and CV After Trump's Request

The president of the Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, announced during a speech at the UN General Assembly the creation of the Coalition ‘Shield of the Americas’, which places the criminal factions First Capital Command (PCC) and Red Command (CV) as priority targets. The initiative brings together 15 nations and provides for tough measures against transnational organized crime.

In addition to the South American countries, they signed the agreement Costa Rica, República Dominicana, El Salvador, Guyana, Honduras, Panama and Trinidad and Tobago, in addition to the Estados Unidos. In total, 15 nations form the group led by Donald Trump. The accession of these countries extends the scope of the coalition beyond South America, also involving Central America and the Caribbean.

Sanctions against members and supporters of factions

The text of the agreement cites that measures will be taken against any member who maintains association with the organized groups or who provides material, administrative and logistical support to the factions named in the list. Actions include asset freezing, immigration and visa restrictions, and criminal accountability of associated individuals. These sanctions aim to financially stifle the organizações criminosas and make it difficult for its members to move.

The CCP and CV factions, originating in Brazil, are known for their role in drug trafficking and other crimes, with ramifications in several countries. The inclusion of these groups on the coalition list represents a hardening in the fight against organized crime in the region. The source did not detail which other factions were named in the deal.

Geopolitical context and military threat

Trump’s speech in his administration and replicated at the UN General Assembly is to eliminate any kind of “interference in the Western Hemisphere,” indicating a fight against the actions of China and Russia, seen as rival countries of the US. The head of the US executive has already stated that he does not rule out the chance of using his military power to combat the “threat”. This posture signals a more aggressive approach to defending American interests in the region.

The mention of China and Russia in the context of the 'Shield of the Americas' suggests that the coalition may have goals that go beyond combating drug trafficking, also encompassing geopolitical disputes. However, the source did not detail how this dimension will be operationalized. The possibility of military use, although unconfirmed, adds tension to the international scene.

Impact for Brazil and the region

For Brazil, the country of origin of the CCP and the CV, joining the coalition may imply greater international cooperation and pressure to intensify the fight against these factions. The sanctions, such as asset freezes and visa restrictions, can directly affect individuals linked to these groups in Brazilian territory. The source did not detail whether the Brazilian government has already signed the agreement or how it intends to implement the measures.

The Coalition Shield of the Americas represents a new chapter in the fight against transnational organized crime, with the potential to redefine security relations in the hemisphere. The participation of 15 countries demonstrates a joint effort, but also raises questions about sovereignty and the limits of external intervention. The implementation of these measures will be closely monitored by the international community.

The Boca no Trombone portal will continue to monitor the developments of this coalition and its impacts on the Campos Gerais region and the Paraná, especially with regard to public security and international cooperation.
