January 1, Trump Orders Military Action On Drug Cartels

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump tells War Department to treat drug cartels as enemy forces.
• Pentagon unleashes military might on cartel operations near Venezuela.
• U.S. Navy moves to block cartel drugs from reaching America.

President Trump instructed the War Department to go after drug cartels like they were at war. His order means using the full force of the military to fight these groups.

The Trump administration has struck cartel targets and shared clips of military actions on boats coming from Venezuela. These actions aim to stop illegal drugs before they reach American soil.

“The President directed the Department of War to conduct operations against them pursuant to the law of armed conflict,” the administration said in a statement.

The statement also said, “The United States has now reached a critical point where we must use force in self-defense and defense of others against the ongoing attacks by these designated terrorist organizations.”

The administration also named Venezuela’s president, Nicolás Maduro, as a cartel leader and put a larger bounty on his capture. U.S. warships are now patrolling the Caribbean to stop cartels from shipping drugs to the mainland.

Drug cartels are being fought with real military operations, showing a new level of action to keep America safe.

This effort sends a clear message to the cartels and any foreign leaders helping them.

If you care about stopping drugs and protecting your neighborhood, keep paying attention to what comes next.
