Mexico’s President just made one stunning admission about Donald Trump that will leave Democrats furious
The war on drugs has been raging along America’s southern border for decades.
Joe Biden’s open border policies made the crisis even worse.
And Mexico’s President just made one stunning admission about Donald Trump that will leave Democrats furious.
Mexico’s President just dropped one bombshell about fentanyl that has Democrats scrambling
President Donald Trump promised to get tough on the cartels flooding America with deadly drugs.
Democrats claimed his approach would backfire and make things worse.
But Trump’s war on cartels is already showing results after he wasted no time going after the drug cartels that have been poisoning Americans with fentanyl.
On his first day back in office, Trump signed an executive order calling for the designation of multiple Mexican cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
On February 19, the State Department officially designated Tren de Aragua, MS-13, the Sinaloa Cartel, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, the Northeast Cartel, La Nueva Familia Michoacana, the Gulf Cartel, and Cárteles Unidos as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
Democrats and their media allies predicted this tough approach would damage relations with Mexico and accomplish nothing.
They couldn’t have been more wrong.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum just delivered news that has to be making Democrats sick to their stomachs.
She announced on Friday that fentanyl trafficking from Mexico to the United States has plummeted by an estimated 40% since Trump took office in January.
That’s a massive drop in just over three weeks.
Democrats’ soft approach failed miserably
For four years under Joe Biden, Americans suffered from a devastating fentanyl crisis.
Drug overdose deaths reached over 107,000 in 2022, with fentanyl responsible for nearly 74,000 of those deaths.
The Biden administration took a hands-off approach with Mexico and treated the cartels like a law enforcement problem instead of the terrorist threat they really are.
Biden’s team focused on "harm reduction" and providing clean needles instead of stopping the poison from entering the country in the first place.
The results were catastrophic.
Fentanyl became the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.
Mexican cartels grew richer and more powerful while American families buried their children.
Trump’s strength gets results
The dramatic 40% reduction in fentanyl trafficking shows what happens when America has a President who isn’t afraid to use America’s strength.
Trump’s designation of the cartels as terrorist organizations sends a clear message that the United States will no longer tolerate these criminal enterprises destroying American lives.
The cartels now face the full weight of America’s counterterrorism capabilities.
Trump has also enhanced border security and deployed covert drone programs to target cartel operations.
The Mexican government has stepped up its own enforcement efforts in response to Trump’s pressure.
President Sheinbaum’s announcement proves that Trump’s tough approach is working where Biden’s weakness failed.
The numbers don’t lie
A 40% reduction in fentanyl trafficking in just over three weeks is unprecedented.
Under Biden, fentanyl seizures at the border actually increased because more of the deadly drug was flowing across.
Now the cartels are apparently pulling back their operations in response to Trump’s crackdown.
This decline highlights the importance of international cooperation when America leads from a position of strength.
The Mexican government is taking the Trump administration seriously in a way they never took Biden seriously.
More work ahead
Despite this promising start, Trump knows the war against the cartels is far from over.
The Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel remain major threats with operations across multiple countries.
These criminal organizations still traffic cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana into the United States.
But Trump’s early success against fentanyl trafficking shows his approach is working.
The cartels are learning that America has a President who means business.
Democrats scrambling for excuses
Democrats who predicted Trump’s tough approach would backfire are now scrambling to explain away this early success.
They spent years claiming that designating cartels as terrorist organizations would hurt diplomatic relations with Mexico.
Instead, it’s producing real results that save American lives.
The 40% reduction in fentanyl trafficking is a vindication of Trump’s America First approach to foreign policy.
When America projects strength and demands results, other countries respond.
Mexico’s President wouldn’t have announced this dramatic reduction if Trump’s policies weren’t working.
A stark contrast
The difference between Trump and Biden on the fentanyl crisis couldn’t be more clear.
Biden treated the cartels with kid gloves and got record-breaking overdose deaths.
Trump treats them like the terrorists they are and gets a 40% reduction in trafficking.
American families who have lost loved ones to fentanyl poisoning deserve a President who fights for them.
Trump is proving once again that peace comes through strength.
The cartels respect force, not diplomacy.
Looking ahead
As Trump continues his crackdown on the cartels, more results are likely to follow.
The President has made it clear that protecting American lives from fentanyl is a top priority.
His early success shows that strong leadership can make a real difference in saving lives.
Democrats may not want to admit it, but Trump’s approach is working.
The 40% reduction in fentanyl trafficking is just the beginning of what Trump can accomplish when he puts America First.
Mexican cartels are learning that the days of treating America like a pushover are over.
