00:00It's unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels.
00:07We are reasserting American power, including American military power, where necessary, in our region and around the world,
00:16to create a safer future for all of us. It's happening, and it's happening quickly.
00:21Upon taking office, I designated the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:28And unleashed the United States Armed Forces to eliminate them.
00:35The cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere, not good people.
00:41They're enemies at war with civilization, using murder, rape, torture, and extortion as instruments of terror.
00:50Like ISIS, they should be killed, exiled, or detained as enemy combatants without the possibility of release, which is what
00:58we're doing.
00:58To that end, the United States has carried out dozens of strikes on cartel drug boats, destroying 97% of
01:06the drugs coming into the ocean and sea.
01:11You've seen it.
01:12They disappear very quickly, and we're down 90%.
01:17They're down 97%.
01:19Nobody thought that was possible.
01:21It was a big source of delivery.
01:23And three months ago, we terminated the leader of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.
01:30Mexico is the epicenter of the cartel violence, unfortunately.
01:34It's unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels.
01:43So Mexico must reclaim control of its soil from the enemies of humanity, and safety and security will be coming
01:50to Mexico.
01:52I'm very proud to tell you we have a very good relationship with the Mexican government.
01:56We've made great strides, very great strides with Mexico.
01:59They don't want the cartels either.
02:02They don't want the cartels either.
