Donald Trump has announced his intention to wage war on drug cartels if he returns to the White House. He emphasized that the drug kingpins and traffickers will not sleep soundly again. Trump plans to deploy all necessary military assets, including the US Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels. He highlighted the devastating impact of drug trafficking on American families and vowed to show no mercy on the cartels. This plan is part of his broader strategy to end the drug epidemic in America, reminiscent of Reagan's war on drugs, and is a key element of his second presidency.
