Donald Trump, in a recent statement, vowed to leverage US special forces and other US military assets to inflict maximum damage on cartels if reelected. Trump addressed the deteriorating situation at the border, even contrasting the current state at the border to what it was when he was president. He laid out a comprehensive plan on how he was going to deal with the cartels given the negative impacts their actions have had on Americans.<\/p>\n

Trump, who announced his 2024 presidential campaign late last year, said drug cartels are “waging war on America” and it is “now time for America to wage war on cartels.”<\/p>\n

“Joe Biden has sided against the United States and with the cartels,” Trump said in a video Thursday. “Biden\u2019s open border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation.”<\/p>\n

“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 \u2013 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\u2026 in the history of our country.”<\/p>\n

Trump said that if elected, he will “order the Department of Defense to make appropriate use of special forces, cyber warfare, and other overt and covert actions to inflict maximum damage on cartel leadership, infrastructure and operations.”<\/p>\n

Trump also said he would designate major cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, which would sever their access to global financial systems, and ask Congress to pass legislation that would ensure drug smugglers and human traffickers receive the death penalty.<\/p>\n

“The drug cartels and their allies in the Biden administration have the blood of countless millions on their hands \u2013 millions and millions of families and people are being destroyed,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Trump touted border security under his leadership, calling it “strong” and “powerful” and “respected all over the world.”<\/p>\n

“And now we\u2019re laughed at all over the world, and we\u2019re not going to let that happen much longer,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

“We have to take over, we have to be tough, we have to be smart, we have to be fair. But if we don\u2019t do something immediately, our country is gone,” he added.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s remarks came just as President Biden announced expanded border measures ahead of his first ever visit to the southern border next week as his administration struggles to deal with a historic surge in migrants.<\/p>\n

Biden announced the expansion of a humanitarian parole program for Venezuelan nationals to include Haitians, Cubans and Nicaraguans. That program will allow 30,000 people each month from all four counties to be paroled into the U.S. for a two-year period as long as they have a financial sponsor and pass other conditions. Those who attempt to enter illegally are made ineligible for the program.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
