Today’s swift response from the Trump Administration to the cartel drone incursion near El Paso International Airport demonstrates that narco-terrorism is a direct threat to the American people, U.S. sovereignty, and public safety. One that must be met with decisive action. With the threat neutralized and normal commercial travel resuming, Americans can be confident that our security remains the top priority.

Under President Donald J. Trump, the United States is taking the fight directly to the cartels, securing our borders and airspace, dismantling narco-states, and confronting the criminal networks fueling violence and fentanyl across the hemisphere.

Last week, CPAC’s Combating Narco-Terrorism Summit brought leaders together to advance this mission. We must remain united in supporting President Trump as he works to crush the cartels and secure our hemisphere.
