US President Donald Trump spoke on Tuesday night before Congress, addressing the "war on Mexican drug cartels," which pose, according to his words, "a serious threat to national security" of the United States.
In his address, Trump stated: "These cartels have set our country ablaze. Under my administration, our law enforcement agencies will be strengthened and fortified. We will destroy the drug dealers and everyone associated with them."
The importance of the drug trafficking problem, especially across the border with Mexico, has become one of the key themes of Trump's speeches. He also emphasized that the fight against cartels is a priority for his administration. During his speech, he expressed condolences for the seven victims of drug trafficking and stressed the necessity of ensuring the safety of American citizens.
"Criminals who have taken lives in our country will never feel safe," the president emphasized.
