President Trump Designates the 2027 “Major’s List”

This List Designates the Countries Responsible for Producing and Transporting Illicit Drugs to the United States

On September 15, President Trump delivered the “Major’s List” to Congress, designating the countries responsible for sourcing and transporting illicit drugs into the United States. The State Department announced the Presidential Determination of these 23 countries, with four countries—Afghanistan, Bolivia, Burma and Colombia—listed as having “failed demonstrably during the previous 12 months to make substantial efforts to adhere to their obligations under international counternarcotics agreements,” and calling upon them to improve their counternarcotics efforts. By manufacturing and trafficking illicit drugs and precursor chemicals, these countries are threatening the safety of the United States and its citizens.

President Trump called on these 23 countries to confront drug trafficking and narcoterrorism. This new announcement is the latest progress in the Trump Administration’s historic fight against illicit drugs and cartels, which is continuing to save American lives.
