Intercept evidence 'not viable'

The China Connection: Globalization and the Narcotics Trade
By EDUARDO PORTER
Stopping large-scale traffickers who can source raw materials anywhere around the globe will make interdiction much more difficult for law enforcement.


 Nevertheless, U.S. commanders believe the new checkpoints will boost their interdiction efforts by forcing militants to avoid using the major highways where the checkpoints are situated and instead travel on small dirt roads or across the open desert, where the smugglers' vehicles stand a better chance of being spotted by American satellites, drones and surveillance airplanes.

Phrases

A carry trader uses a financial strategy where they borrow money in a country with low interest rates and invest those funds in higher-yielding assets elsewhere, aiming to pocket the interest rate difference, or "spread". [1, 2]

How the Strategy Works

Borrow Cheaply: Take out loans or sell short a low-interest currency (like the Japanese Yen or Swiss Franc).
Convert and Invest: Exchange the money into a higher-interest currency (like the U.S. Dollar) to buy bonds, stocks, or other high-return assets.
Collect the Spread: Profit from the difference between the low borrowing cost and the high investment return. [1, 2, 3, 4]

anywhere near

at all near (used for emphasis):I wouldn’t dream of letting a surgeon anywhere near my eyes

remotely close to in extent, level, or scope:imitations rarely look anywhere near as good as the real thing
