First Lady Melania Trump: Today we are surrounded by people who's strength is often quiet, but always powerful.

President Trump is putting an end to the dangerous America last approach.

Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially-designated narco-terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance to the Laws Of War.
