Drug Czar Sara Carter says the Maduro operation sent a global message of strength, warning President Trump has restored U.S. dominance in the Western Hemisphere:
“President Trump is a president of power through strength. What he says, he means, and everybody knows that—whether you’re talking to leaders in Central America, Mexico, or across the globe. When he took Maduro, it was one of the most incredible operations we’ve ever seen in the Western Hemisphere. It sent a message across the world that this is a president nobody is going to mess with. And believe me, that message was heard loud and clear. We’re bringing it back to the Western Hemisphere. We’re protecting it. We’re working with our partners through multilateral and bilateral talks, and I can tell you it’s constant and ongoing. We have support from partners across the region, whether that’s Ecuador, El Salvador, or cooperation with Mexico. When we shared intelligence with Mexico, we saw them take immediate action.”
