Trump Targets Land-Based Drug Trafficking

Former US President Donald Trump has stated that his administration will soon focus on combating the entry of drugs into the US via land borders. He highlighted that recent airstrikes by US armed forces against vessels allegedly linked to drug cartels in the Caribbean and Pacific have led to a significant reduction in drugs arriving by sea. This announcement suggests a shift in the Trump administration's approach to tackling the drug problem, with an emphasis on controlling land borders. The announcement comes amid growing concern about the influx of illegal substances into the United States and its impact on public health and safety.
