Trump official details the president’s plan to take down these ruthless terrorists
The U.S. government has no tolerance for anyone who tries to destroy the country. Donald Trump has made that very clear.
And a Trump official has detailed the president’s plan to take down these ruthless terrorists.
President Donald Trump isn’t backing down in his fight to defend America’s borders, sovereignty, and safety from the deadly reach of Venezuela’s narco-terrorist gangs. And according to U.N. Ambassador Mike Waltz, the president is fully prepared to “do whatever it takes” to stop these drug traffickers from k*lling Americans.
In an interview Thursday on Fox & Friends, Waltz made it clear that the administration’s mission is no half measure. “These are designated terrorist gangs,” he said.
“President Trump is going to do whatever it takes and use all the tools in the toolkit from the intelligence community, from the Department of War, and of course, diplomatically, to defend US sovereignty against actions that are actively k*lling Americans.”
Waltz’s words come as Trump ramps up his anti-drug campaign with new authorization for the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela—a move that once again proves Trump’s America First approach isn’t just rhetoric. This president is taking action where previous administrations hesitated, and it’s shaking the international establishment to its core.
For decades, Venezuela’s drug cartels have poisoned American communities, using the country as a safe haven for trafficking routes tied to violent gangs and foreign-backed criminal syndicates. Trump’s crackdown—first by sea, now potentially on land—is sending an unmistakable message: those days are over.
The president confirmed Wednesday that he gave the green light for the CIA’s covert actions, and that he’s seriously considering taking the fight directly to cartel operations on land. The move follows a string of successful U.S. strikes on drug-smuggling vessels that have reportedly taken out about six cartel ships.
Trump’s decision to go on the offensive has rattled the socialist regime in Caracas. Venezuela’s leadership ran straight to the United Nations to complain that Washington was violating international law.
But Waltz wasn’t having any of it. “Venezuela can bring whatever they want to the UN,” he said bluntly. “You know it’s also part of the UN, is Article 51 of the UN Charter that enables a country to defend itself, and that’s what President Trump’s doing. He’s going to do it.”
That’s the kind of unapologetic defense of America that millions of voters expect from this administration—and it’s exactly what they’ve been missing for years under globalist leadership that cared more about U.N. approval than American lives.
When Trump first ordered the bombing of Venezuelan drug ships on September 2, the attacks were met with predictable outrage from leftist activists and foreign bureaucrats. But while they whine about “international law,” Trump is focused on protecting real Americans from the violence, addiction, and death these narco-terrorists bring to U.S. streets.
According to reports, the initial wave of strikes k*lled at least 27 suspected “narco-terrorists.” Trump has defended the campaign, pointing out that traditional Coast Guard interdictions have been woefully inadequate for decades. “Enough is enough,” he’s effectively saying. America won’t sit by while foreign thugs pump poison into our neighborhoods.
Waltz’s defense of the president’s approach highlights the Trump administration’s renewed emphasis on strength and sovereignty. The message is simple: America is not going to ask for permission to defend itself.
This new phase of anti-drug operations could mark a turning point in how the U.S. handles international narcotics and terrorism. Rather than reacting to crises after they hit home, Trump is taking the fight directly to the source.
Predictably, the left and their media allies will accuse the president of “escalation.” But for ordinary Americans watching their communities suffer from fentanyl, cartel violence, and drug-fueled crime, the real escalation came long ago—from enemies who’ve been emboldened by years of U.S. weakness.
Trump’s move to unleash the intelligence community and military assets against Venezuela’s narco-state shows that he’s serious about securing America’s future.
It’s a new era—one where protecting American lives comes before political correctness or diplomatic niceties.
And as Waltz made clear, President Trump isn’t bluffing. He’s fighting for America’s right to exist as a sovereign nation free from the grip of foreign criminals—and he’s ready to do whatever it takes to make that happen.
