Focus on drug trafficking.




Global drug trafficking remains a major issue, driven by organized crime. These networks use advanced methods to produce illegal drugs, distribute them and launder the profits. For example, there are an estimated 10,000 drone incursions per year into the US from Mexico, many of which are tied to drug trafficking operations.  

Global drug trafficking is a worldwide black market for the production and sale of illicit drugs, with an estimated annual value between $426 and $652 billion in 2014, representing nearly 1% of the world's GDP at the time. It involves the cultivation, manufacture, and distribution of prohibited substances, and it poses a significant transnational crime issue. 

Illegal drug trade refers to the global black market for drugs. Most countries prohibit the trade of many drugs except for licensed use. In 2014, the global illicit drug market was estimated to be worth between $426 and $652 billion, which was nearly 1% of the global GDP for that year. Drug trafficking is considered a major transnational crime due to its international scope and the involvement of organized criminal networks.
