00:00We are reasserting American power, including American military power, where necessary.
00:06In our region and around the world, to create a safer future for all of us.
00:11It's happening, and it's happening quickly.
00:14Upon taking office, I designated the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations
00:21and unleashed the United States Armed Forces to eliminate them.
00:26And the cartels are the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere, not good people.
00:33They're enemies at war with civilization, using murder, rape, torture, and extortion as instruments of terror.
00:42Like ISIS, they should be killed, exiled, or detained as enemy combatants without the possibility of release, which is what
00:50we're doing.
00:50To that end, the United States has carried out dozens of strikes on cartel drug boats, destroying 97% of
00:59the drugs coming into the ocean and sea.
01:03You've seen it.
01:05They disappear very quickly, and we're down 90%.
01:09They're down 97%.
01:11Nobody thought that was possible.
01:13It was a big source of delivery.
01:15And three months ago, we terminated the leader of the Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua.
01:22Mexico is the epicenter of the cartel violence, unfortunately.
01:26It's unacceptable for the United States to share a 2,000-mile border with a territory controlled by enemy cartels.
01:34So Mexico must reclaim control of its soil from the enemies of humanity.
01:40My administration is also seeking a fundamental change in the situation in Cuba, where the communist regime is under great
01:48pressure, the biggest pressure they've ever been under.
01:51It's an absolutely failed state.
01:56It's failing like never before, and it will fall.
02:00Marco Rubio is handling a negotiation.
02:02He's deep into negotiations with Cuba.
02:05Let's see what happens.
02:06We'll not allow a haven for foreign adversaries to threaten America on our own doorstep.
02:14It's right at our doorstep.
02:15The Cuban regime has also spent decades coordinating with the left-wing radicals and communist networks here in the United
02:22States.
02:23As our State Department has detailed, they've cultivated ties to subversive and radical groups such as the Communist Party USA,
02:33Antifa, and the Democrat Socialists of America.
02:37Communism will never be coming to America, but freedom will be coming to Cuba, and safety and security will be
02:44coming to Mexico.
02:46I'm very proud to tell you we have a very good relationship with the Mexican government.
02:50We've made great strides, very great strides with Mexico.
02:54They don't want the cartels either.
02:57And when that day comes, this entire region will be a better, safer, and more beautiful place in which to
03:03live and thrive.
