Trump is promising to go after drug cartels if elected in 2024.
According to a Fox News report, former President Donald Trump will take aggressive measures to stymie Mexican drug cartels’ disastrous impact on American citizens; they are “waging war on Americans,” Trump says.
“Joe Biden has sided against the United States and with the cartels,” Trump said in a video Thursday. “Biden’s open border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation.”
“When I am president, it will be the policy of the United States to take down the cartels, just as we took down ISIS and the ISIS caliphate – and just as, unlike the situation we are in today, we had a very, very strong border,” Trump continued. He said his administration oversaw the “strongest border… in the history of our country.”
“The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration have the blood of countless millions on their hands – millions and millions of families and people are being destroyed,” Trump said.
“When I am back in the White House, the drug kingpins and vicious traffickers will never sleep soundly again,” he said. “We did it once, and we did it better than anybody else.”
Trump touted border security under his leadership, calling it “strong” and “powerful” and “respected all over the world.”
