Trump Vows to Declare Mexican Cartels Terrorist Organizations on Day One
Phoenix, Arizona – In a fiery speech to supporters, President-elect donald Trump promised a sweeping crackdown on transnational gangs and drug cartels, vowing to designate them as terrorist organizations on his first day in office.
Addressing a forum hosted by the conservative group Turning Point USA, Trump declared, “All members of foreign gangs will be expelled, and I will immediately designate the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.I will do it immediately.”
The President-elect’s remarks focused on a perceived crisis of crime and drug trafficking,painting a stark picture of violence and lawlessness. He pledged to unleash the full force of federal law enforcement agencies, including ICE, the Border Patrol, the DEA, and intelligence agencies, to dismantle these criminal networks.
“We will unleash the full power of federal law enforcement: ICE, Border Patrol, the DEA, the intelligence community, and financial sanctions to expel criminal migrant gangs that are murdering, raping, and mutilating our citizens,” Trump stated, his words met with cheers from the crowd. “We will get rid of them…deport them, dismantle them, and destroy that network that operates illegally on American soil.”
This isn’t the first time Trump has used hyperbolic language to describe the threat posed by Mexican drug cartels. During his campaign, he frequently cited the city of Aurora, Colorado, as an example of a community overrun by crime, blaming the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua for the city’s woes.
In a departure from his usual focus on immigration and border security, Trump also announced plans for a new public awareness campaign aimed at highlighting the dangers of drug use.
“We’re going to launch a campaign to make people aware of how bad drugs are,” he promised. “They ruin your looks, they ruin your skin, they ruin your teeth.”
While Trump pledged to allocate “a lot of money” to the campaign, he later clarified that the cost would be “comparatively” low. He did not provide further details about the campaign’s scope or implementation.
Trump’s pronouncements on immigration and drug policy have been a hallmark of his political career, often generating controversy and sparking heated debate. His latest promises signal a continuation of his hardline approach,setting the stage for perhaps significant changes in U.S. law enforcement and foreign policy.
Trump Revives Hardline Stance on Drugs, Immigration in Arizona Rally
Former President Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail in Arizona, reigniting his hardline stance on immigration and drug trafficking, echoing policies reminiscent of the “War on Drugs” era.
Speaking to a cheering crowd in Phoenix, trump revisited familiar themes, vowing to crack down on drug cartels and illegal immigration. He threatened to impose tariffs on Mexico if the country doesn’t do more to stem the flow of fentanyl into the United States.
Trump’s rhetoric harkened back to the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and 90s, invoking comparisons to the “Just Say No” campaign led by former First Lady Nancy Reagan. He suggested deploying military-style tactics against Mexican drug cartels, a move that would raise serious legal and diplomatic concerns.
“I was very tough with Mexico,” Trump said, referring to a recent phone call with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. “I spoke with the new president, a lovely woman, President Sheinbaum, a wonderful woman, but I said, ‘You can’t do this to our country.'”
Trump’s comments come as fentanyl overdoses continue to plague the United States, with the drug responsible for an estimated 70,000 deaths in 2023. He blamed Mexico for the influx of fentanyl, echoing a stance taken during his previous presidency.
While Trump praised Sheinbaum as “enchanting” and “wonderful,” he made it clear that he expects Mexico to take a more aggressive approach to tackling the fentanyl crisis.
“I told Mexico this cannot continue,” Trump declared. “There are so many families destroyed, and we’re going to stop it. We’re not going to allow that to happen.”
It remains to be seen whether Sheinbaum will adopt a different approach to the fentanyl issue than her predecessor, who largely denied that the drug was produced in mexico. U.S. officials have consistently argued that the demand for fentanyl in the United States is the root of the problem.
Trump’s rally in Arizona served as a reminder of his hardline stance on immigration and drug policy, setting the stage for a potentially contentious debate during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Trump Takes Aim at Musk, panama Canal in Rally
Phoenix, AZ - Former President Donald Trump returned to the campaign trail Saturday, firing shots at both Elon Musk and the Panama Canal in a fiery rally in Phoenix.
Addressing a cheering crowd, Trump dismissed recent speculation about his relationship with the Tesla CEO, who intervened in a recent government shutdown crisis.
“the idea that I’ve ceded the presidency to Elon Musk is pure fiction,” Trump declared. “Even if he wanted the job, he couldn’t have it. The Constitution requires a president to be born in the United States. Elon wasn’t born here, so it’s not going to happen. I can guarantee that.”
Trump’s comments come after Musk, a recent ally, used his platform on X (formerly Twitter) to derail a bipartisan agreement that could have averted the government shutdown. The move sparked concerns about Musk’s growing influence in American politics and a potential power struggle between the two billionaires.
Later in his speech, Trump shifted his focus to the Panama Canal, threatening to reassert U.S. control over the vital waterway. He accused Panama of charging exorbitant fees for ships using the canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.”We’re not going to let the Panama Canal fall into the wrong hands,” Trump warned,seemingly referencing concerns about Chinese influence in the region. while China does not control or administer the canal, a Hong Kong-based company manages two ports at it’s entrances.
Trump’s remarks on the Panama Canal echo his “America First” foreign policy approach, emphasizing U.S. dominance on the global stage.
