The article reports on President Donald Trump’s remarks regarding U.S.military strikes against suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean, particularly those coming from Venezuela. Speaking at the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary, Trump praised the effectiveness of these naval strikes, stating they have been so successful that “nobody wants to go into the water anymore,” indicating a notable disruption of maritime drug smuggling routes. He also mentioned that consequently, drug traffickers might shift to land routes, suggesting the military may need to pursue actions on land to combat this new tactic. Trump declared a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels in a recent memorandum to Congress, emphasizing the seriousness of the issue. Even though specifics on potential land operations remain unclear<\/a> and face diplomatic challenges, such as opposition from Mexico, U.S. officials, including war Secretary Pete Hegseth, vow to continue maritime strikes until threats to Americans end. The article highlights ongoing efforts<\/a> by the management to intensify the fight against drug cartels, designated as terrorist organizations.
