Drug Trafficking Trends in the USA

Drug trafficking dynamics in the USA reveal that despite the blame on Venezuela for drug shipments, only a small percentage of cocaine enters the US through the country. The majority, 74%, originates in Colombia and is transported directly to California via the Pacific Ocean. Another 16% follows the western Caribbean route from the Colombia-Venezuela border, with just 8% passing through Venezuela and the Caribbean.

Conversely, ground systems face a decrease in funding, indicating a decline in popularity.
