President Trump: For too long, leaders before us allowed many parts of the western hemisphere to become badly destabilized by cartel violence, uncontrolled migration, and foreign interference. And I know that a lot of you got elected for that very reason. We're gonna stop it. The Shield Of The Americas is a recognition that our region is stronger, safer, and more prosperous if we work together and confront the threats; all of the threats that we have. A lot of them; the biggest; the cartels, I would say, the biggest threat. As part of that effort, I want to thank you for joining the Department of War's American Counter-Cartel Coalition, and we're there to help you. For years, cartels have waged war on the people of this hemisphere. Now we're waging war on them. The job of every leader in this room is, above all, to protect the physical safety of your people. These are violent terrorists, paramilitary forces in control of physical territory, and that's because nobody ever did anything to stop it. You're much tougher than them, and you have the backing of the United States, and that makes you much stronger. So today I am asking all nations in the Shield Of The Americas to designate narcoterrorists as common threats to civility, and apply crushing sanctions to all twenty-four U.S. designated foreign terrorist organizations.
