Donald Trump has moved a large amount of US military force to the Caribbean, but why?

Trump recently referred to Colombia's left-wing president, Gustavo Petro, as "an illegal drug leader" and has ordered even more troops to the region.

The US military has been bombing alleged "drug-boats" suspected of taking illegal drugs such as cocaine and fentanyl to the US, but are drugs just one part of the story? And how might it escalate?

Richard is on the ground in Colombia where he explains how tensions have built and why China might play a role in Trump's motivations.

Yalda discusses the importance of Syrian leader, Ahmed al Sharaa, visiting the White House.

Previously labelled a terrorist by the US, al Sharaa had a $10m bounty on his head and led a faction of al Qaeda, yet now he is in the Oval Office being labelled "handsome" by Trump. How could this impact the dynamics of the Middle East?
