The "Shield of the Americas"- is a U.S.-led security initiative and summit, proposed for March 2026 in Miami, focusing on strengthening regional coordination among select Latin American and Caribbean nations. It addresses organized crime, narcotics trafficking, and regional stability, while counteracting Chinas influence in the Western Hemisphere

It functions as a smaller, invitation-based, "like-minded" alliance designed to advance regional security and, as described by supporters, uphold a "Neo-Monroe Doctrine" to prevent foreign adversaries from establishing footholds in the region.

Kristi Noem is set to act as the Special Envoy for this initiative, according to reports in March 2026.
