"Well, it wasn't meant to be, and we're very friendly with her. She's a good woman, Trump said, before arguing that Mexican cartels, not the country's elected leadership, hold real power. She's not running Mexico. The cartels are running Mexico. And we could be politically correct and be nice and say, Oh yes, she is.' No, no. She's very frightened of the cartels."
"The president then pivoted to the issue of drug-related deaths in the United States, asserting that official figures understate the toll. We lost the real number is 300,000 people, in my opinion, Trump said. They like to say 100,000. One hundred thousand is a lot of people, but the real number's 300,000 people, and we lost them to drugs. Trump said most illicit drugs enter the United States through the southern border, while adding that some also come through Canada."
The U.S. operation involved airstrikes in Caracas and the capture and extradition of Nicolás Maduro and his wife to face narcotics trafficking charges filed in the Southern District of New York. The operation was characterized as not intended as a message to Mexico's president, while officials emphasized concerns about Mexican cartels exerting de facto control over the country and reportedly rejecting offers of U.S. assistance to confront them. An assertion was made that drug-related deaths in the United States total about 300,000 versus an official figure near 100,000, and that most illicit drugs enter through the southern border, with some via Canada.
