En respuesta a esto, el Comité de Relaciones Exteriores del senado de EE.UU. aprobó la Ley de Estrategia de Seguridad del Hemisferio Occidental del 2022. El proyecto de ley bipartidista, presentado por los senadores estadounidenses Marco Rubio (R-FL) y Bob Menendez (D-NJ), propondría un aumento en la cooperación de seguridad bilateral y multilateral en el hemisferio occidental, así como un impulso para interrumpir y contrarrestar el tráfico de narcóticos ilícitos.
