Trump Vows to Launch Tough War Against Drug Trafficking Rings
According too the English section of webangah News Agency, citing Al Jazeera via Mehr News Agency, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the contry is working to expel drug trafficking gangs from its territory, and the results have been remarkable.
He added that since the beginning of his second presidential term, over 120,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested.
Trump declared,”We will wage a tough war against drug trafficking gangs and eliminate them.”
The U.S. president further claimed, “The cartels are waging war against us, and as I promised, we will fight back.”
Notably, under the pretext of fighting drugs and aiming to overthrow Venezuelan president Nicolás maduro, Trump has deployed the largest military fleet in the Caribbean. With CIA authorization for operations in place, Venezuela stands on the brink of a conflict capable of engulfing all Latin America in flames.
Currently, more than 10 percent of U.S. military capacity is present in Caribbean waters-comprising four destroyers, a nuclear submarine, a frigate and missile launcher unit; supported by over 4,500 Navy personnel alongside F-35 fighters, B-52 strategic bombers and surveillance drones-forming an operation that extends well beyond counter-narcotics efforts.
Trump emphasized that reports about B-1 bombers flying near Venezuela are false.
In response to questions about drugs smuggled into the United States through Venezuela by China-related networks he said: “Yes, they do it and I will discuss this matter with China’s president.”
He added: “We want to reach an agreement with China to prevent imposing tariffs as high as 157 percent.”
