Fox News
Former President Trump said Thursday that if elected again as commander-in-chief, he will deploy U.S. special forces and other military assets to “inflect maximum damage” on cartels crossing the southern border.
"Joe Biden has sided against the United States and with the cartels," Trump said in a video Thursday. "Biden’s open border policies are a deadly betrayal of our nation." Brooke Singman is a Fox News Digital politics reporter. You can reach her at Brooke.Singman@Fox.com or @BrookeSingman on Twitter.
"When I am president, it will be the policy of the United States to take down the cartels, just as we took down ISIS and the ISIS caliphate – and just as, unlike the situation we are in today, we had a very, very strong border," Trump continued. He said his administration oversaw the "strongest border… in the history of our country."
