Caribbean Border Counternarcotics Strategy Act

This bill (S 548) requires the U.S. federal government to develop a Caribbean Border Counternarcotics Strategy. The strategy must outline how agencies will prevent drugs from trafficking through the Caribbean into the U.S., define agency roles, identify needed resources, and avoid hindering legitimate trade. It specifically mandates a focus on reducing drug trafficking to and through Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including addressing drug-related violence and evaluating assistance needs for local law enforcement. The bill amends existing drug control law to establish this requirement, directly affecting federal agencies like the Office of National Drug Control Policy and their coordination with Caribbean territories.
