Situation

Since the mid 1900’s, Columbia has been in a war on drugs with several cartels within the country producing significant amounts of product. Over the years this has caused significant economic turmoil with exports reduced due to smuggling issues, political corruption and state involvement in the production of drugs, which is recently suspected to have become more commonplace, as the amount of product produced seems to have significantly increased, despite the new Colombian Presidents target to oust all of the cartels and stop drugs being produced in the country. The product that is produced has had a huge impact across the globe over the years, with conflicts arising between countries over the product directly exported from Columbia.The US Government has decided it's time to act following a significant rise in overdoses and drug related crime within the US.
