Some, like the ivy aphid are already in North America, but I’m not sure how much of a dent it actually makes. There’s great precedent for successful introduction of biocontrol agents for other invasive species. There’s also great precedent for catastrophic failures(especially in instances where there’s a native close relative of a target species), so it’s definitely something that needs to be very carefully explored and not to be done haphazardly.

It doesn’t have the same pests and diseases as in Europe to keep it in check.

I mean, the original article isn’t even biased towards the left. It’s just anti-interventionist but also actually recognizes what it calls prior successes of ECOWAS intervention and argues in favor of advancing American interests. The person you’re replying to is just paranoid about “leftist media.”
