US President Donald Trump has announced that the United States is set to launch a comprehensive ground operation to combat drug trafficking and dismantle international cartels.
According to Operative Information Center-OMM, the President emphasized that this new phase of the anti-narcotics strategy follows successful maritime efforts that have already significantly curtailed the flow of illegal substances into the country. "We have reduced drug smuggling thanks to attacks on ships. Now we will start operations on land," President Trump stated. He explained that securing maritime routes was a strategic prerequisite to prevent cartels from shifting their logistics back to the sea once land-based strikes begin. This follows recent statements from the White House Chief of Staff to the New York Post, confirming that the U.S. is prepared to initiate ground strikes against drug cartels wherever necessary to ensure national security.
The escalation in anti-narcotics operations reflects the administration's intensified focus on border security and the ongoing opioid crisis, which remains a critical public health priority for the United States. By targeting the infrastructure of drug cartels both at sea and on land, the White House aims to permanently disrupt the supply chains of synthetic drugs and organized crime networks. These measures are part of a broader federal initiative to strengthen domestic safety and enhance the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies in the global fight against narcotics trafficking.
