Donald Trump, former president and Republican candidate, used the recent murder of a U.S. Army veteran in Mexico to highlight the issue of border security and his fight against drug cartels at a rally in Arizona. The young veteran, Nick Quets, 31, was shot dead on a highway in northern Sonora while out with friends. Trump expressed his condolences to Quets' family and promised a 'total victory' over those responsible.
During his speech, Trump dedicated a significant part to discussing his immigration proposals and border security, stating that if elected, he would drive the cartels out of business. Additionally, he criticized immigration and referred to the United States as 'the garbage can of the world' in reference to the influx of immigrants from different countries.
The former president lashed out at his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, and lamented the national situation in economic, social, and political aspects. He highlighted the support received from the Border Patrol Workers' Union and pledged to restore the sovereign borders of the U.S. and confront the cartels decisively.
The Attorney General's Office of Sonora reported that Quets was the victim of a 'direct attack' by armed men who approached the vehicle he was traveling in and began firing. This tragic incident has become a central theme for Trump in his electoral campaign, where he aims to focus on border security and the fight against organized crime.
