President Trump: We will hit them very hard when they come in by land [drug smugglers]. And they haven't experienced that yet, but now we're totally prepared to do that. We'll probably go back to congress and explain exactly what we're doing when we come to the land. We don't have to do that, but I think, Marco, I'd like to do that.

Secretary Rubio: The bottom line; these are drug boats. If people want to stop seeing drug boats blow up, stop sending drugs to the United States.

Reporter: Does it matter if it's in the United States-

Secretary Rubio: Well these are all in international waters.

Reporter: Could you do a strike in the United States?

Secretary Rubio: That's a different matter, now you're talking about a law enforcement matter. In this particular case, there are people traveling on international waters, headed towards the United States with hostilities in mind, which included flooding our country with dangerous deadly drugs. And they're going to be stopped. And that's what's happening.

President Trump: Something very serious is going to happen [drug smuggling on land], the equivalent of what's happening by sea. And we're going to congress just to tell them what we're doing. Just to keep them informed. We have to do it to save lives.

President Trump: He's a thug [President Petro], and bad guy. He's a guy that is making a lot of drugs. We've just, as of today, stopped all payments going to Colombia. He's a thug, and he's a bad guy, and he's hurt his country very badly. They're doing very poorly, Colombia. They make cocaine. They have cocaine factories. They grow all sorts of crap that's drugs, bad drugs, coming into the United States, goes generally through Mexico, and he better watch it, or we'll take very serious action against him and his country.

President Trump: If this country is not allowed to have tariffs, if this country is not allowed to have the president of the United States negotiate on behalf of it on tariffs, we are put in a position where we're gonna to be a third world country. We can't let that happen.
