Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said Friday that the Trump administration is not ruling out military action against Mexican drug cartels after they were declared foreign terrorist organizations earlier this month.
“Ultimately, we will hold nothing back to secure the American people,” Hegseth said in a Fox News interview in response to a question from “Fox and Friends” co-host Brian Kilmeade about whether the military would strike a cartel organization inside Mexico if those organizations targeted Americans at the U.S.–Mexico border.
“All options will be on the table if we’re dealing with what are designated to be foreign terrorist organizations who are specifically targeting Americans on our border.”
He emphasized that the final decision is “ultimately” up to the president.
“The military is orienting, shifting toward an understanding of homeland defense on our sovereign territorial border. That is something we will do and do robustly,” Hegseth said. “We’re already doing it.
“Should there be other options necessary to prevent the cartels from continuing to pour people—gangs and drugs and violence—into our country, we will take that on.
