Trump Launches Anti-Drug Campaign in Phoenix, Vows to Designate Cartels as Terrorists by January 20, 2025
Dec 23, 2024, 12:40 AM
President-elect Donald Trump announced plans to launch a national anti-drug campaign and designate Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations upon taking office on January 20, 2025. During a recent event in Phoenix, Arizona, Trump stated, "We're going to advertise how bad drugs are for you... they ruin your look, they ruin your face, they ruin your skin, they ruin your teeth." He emphasized that all foreign gang members would be expelled and reiterated his commitment to take immediate action against the cartels. Trump's statements come amid ongoing discussions about drug-related violence and the U.S.-Mexico relationship. In response, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum asserted that Mexico would not accept foreign interference, emphasizing the country's sovereignty while expressing a willingness to collaborate on security matters.
