Trump to deploy military assets to ‘inflict maximum damage’ on cartels if elected in 2024

Former President Trump said he would deploy military assets to “inflict maximum damage" on cartel operations to fight the fentanyl crisis in the United States if elected in 2024.
"For three decades before my election, drug overdose deaths increased every single year. Under my leadership, we took the drug and fentanyl crisis head on, and we achieved the first reduction in overdose deaths in more than 30 years," Trump said in the video.

"Sadly, under Joe Biden, our hard-won progress has been surrendered, along with the surrender of our southern border — such a shame," Trump continued. "Now, fentanyl and other ultra-deadly poisons are pouring into our country unchecked — stealing more than 100,000 American lives every single year."
