Rubio says US is working with allies to counter drugs but will 'still blow up ships if need be'

US Secretary Marco Rubio detailed a new US strategy for combating drug trafficking in Latin American waters.

This approach follows a year of unilateral strikes against alleged narcotraffickers in international waters. Ecuador has become a key partner, with joint efforts targeting criminal organizations.
