Meet the
team that’s dismantling the illicit drug trade
President Trump
visited the Joint Interagency Task Force South yesterday in Key
West. The Task Force is a crucial team that many
Americans have likely never heard about. Led by top officials
from the Armed Services and key Federal agencies, its efforts
to dismantle the illicit drug trade have saved countless
American lives.
The Task Force
faced record drug production during Fiscal Year 2017.
In response, it supported the removal of a record 283 metric
tons of cocaine and 5 kilograms of heroin, as well as the
detention of 900 suspected members of drug trafficking
organizations. Helping to lead an international coalition, the
Task Force oversees a staggering area of 42 million square
miles across the globe.
“We are behind
you all the way,” President Trump said. “And we
want to thank you.” The President called on Congressional
Democrats to support the Task Force by closing loopholes that
allow drugs and human traffickers to spill into the United
States. “We need border protection; we need the wall,” he
said.

‘Right
from the beginning we hit it off’
The President
concluded a productive summit with Japanese leader Shinzo Abe
this week. It marked the sixth meeting and third major
summit between the two men since President Trump took office.
“Right from the beginning we hit it off,” the President
said. “The relationship is a very good one.”
Denuclearization
of North Korea topped the agenda. With a meeting
between President Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un in the
works, both the White House and Prime Minister Abe underscored
that a global maximum pressure campaign on Pyongyang will
continue until North Korea abandons all ballistic missiles and
weapons of mass destruction. That point is nonnegotiable.
American and
Japan also agreed to intensify trade talks. U.S. Trade
Representative Robert Lighthizer will lead discussions for the
U.S. side, guided by the President’s goal of free, fair, and
reciprocal trade with each of our allies. “The relationship
has been so good with all of us, and let’s see how we do
with, right now, the trade deficit,” President Trump told
Prime Minister Abe.
