U.S. President Donald Trump said he is open to the idea of launching strikes on Mexico if necessary to combat drug cartels and halt the flow of narcotics into the United States. He added that any such decision would first be brought to Congress.
U.S. President Donald Trump stated that the possibility of conducting strikes on Mexican territory does not concern him if it helps stop drug cartels and cut off the flow of narcotics into the country. He made the remarks at the White House while answering a journalist’s question about the potential use of force against Mexico.
“I’m fine with it — we have to do whatever it takes to stop the drug flow,” Trump said.
The president added that he is “not satisfied” with Mexico’s efforts to curb narcotrafficking and would be “proud” to take military action if necessary. However, he noted that he would first seek approval from Congress. Trump also remarked that “both Democrats and Republicans, unless they’re crazy, would agree,” adding that “Democrats are a bit crazy.”
