Trump reveals how US military is going to crack down on drug smugglers on land<\/h3>\n

Story by Peter Pinedo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking from the Oval Office on Wednesday evening, President Donald Trump said that the U.S. will “hit” drug smugglers attempting to enter the U.S. by land, following a series of lethal strikes on cartel boats at sea.<\/p>\n

The president was questioned on his use of military force to crack down on drug smugglers in the Caribbean and Pacific following the eighth such strike in recent weeks.<\/p>\n

Trump acknowledged that “it is violent” but said that “every one of those boats that gets knocked out is saving 25,000 American lives.”<\/p>\n

“We have the greatest military in the world. We have the greatest weapons in the world. And you see a little bit of it there, one shot, every one dead center. And the only way you can\u2019t feel bad about it is you realize \u2026 that every time you see that happen, you’re saving 25,000 American lives.”

\nTrump said that following these strikes, “there are very few boats traveling on the water, so now they’ll come in by land to a lesser extent.”<\/p>\n

“And they will be hit on land also,” he said.<\/p>\n

Pressed on whether he has legal authority to unleash strikes on drug smugglers on U.S. territory, Trump answered confidently, “Yes, we do.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The president notified Congress that the U.S. is now at war with drug cartels designated as terrorist organizations. The latest strike on a drug boat occurred in the Pacific is sending a clear message to the cartels- sea smuggling is done. As they react to the new reality and change tactics so will Trump.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
