Belize and El Salvador added to US drug blacklist

[nadinbrzezinski]

US President Barack Obama has added Belize and El Salvador to a blacklist of countries considered major producers or transit routes for illegal drugs.

Officials said cartels were using the two Central American nations as routes for smuggling cocaine from South America north to Mexico and the US.

In total, 22 countries were included on the drugs blacklist.

Three were deemed to have "failed demonstrably" in the fight against drugs - Burma, Bolivia and Venezuela.
