“This is the time for Mexico, with the help of the United States, to wage WAR on the drug cartels and wipe them off the face of the earth,” he wrote on Twitter.
Trump’s remarks were sparked by news of American citizens getting slaughtered in Mexico, after getting caught in the crossfire of a cartel battle in the border state of Sonora. Relatives have said at least nine U.S. citizens were killed including six children of which two were seven-month-old twins, according to CBS News.
Trump urged Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to ask for his assistance.
“If Mexico needs or requests help in cleaning out these monsters, the United States stands ready, willing and able to get involved and do the job quickly and effectively,” Trump wrote.
The president has campaigned on tackling criminal activity on the border, including the drug cartels. During an exclusive interview with Breitbart News in March, he said he was “very seriously” thinking of designating the drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
“It’s psychological, but it’s also economic,” Trump said at the time. “As terrorists — as terrorist organizations, the answer is yes. They are.”
On Twitter, Trump suggested that Mexico needed American power to wipe out the cartels.
“The great new President of Mexico has made this a big issue, but the cartels have become so large and powerful that you sometimes need an army to defeat an army!” he wrote. “We merely await a call from your great new president!”

This is one of the reasons I gave my support to Donald Trump in 2015.
The cartels must be slaughtered!
what about all the cartel “subsidiaries” in all major US cities? Who take them out? What prevents them from re-establishing the original cartel?
Trump gets it.
This might be a war worth fighting ...
Us
I second that motion.
He better start wiping them out of the US first.
And all the banditos...who are the policia....are going...oh no Senor....eez our yob.
The cartels can rest assured they would have the staunch and unwavering support of the democrat party.
In the meantime....we’re expanding our marijuana farms...
Damn, and Obama was best buddies with the Sinaloa
Mexico’s president is in bed with the cartels.
Oh, oh. Schiffty will be siding with the cartels now and ordering subpoenas forcing them to “testify” before his Snowflake the Clown Show.
It would be Iraq II because we would never fight it as it needs to be done. The Mexican populace, police and army would side with the cartels. Their allegiance would be to Mexico first. IED’s, snipers, car bombs
Unless we went in there WWII style it would be a bloodbath for our troops.
They’re just the retail outlets. Destroy the factory and their distribution centers.
Exactly, and all of the ruling class. They would go broke without the money from the cartels.
Old Black Jack would know how to handle it. Imagine the heads exploding...
The entire government of Mexico is corrupt. Anybody can buy off the police, prison guards, judges, you name it.
Wow, that sounds like us!
The Democrats and their hangers on want to continue importing the Drug Cartels and Pushers into the USA and make life cushy for them by disarming the American People. They expect them to become pro-Democrat voters--that's why!
No wonder the satanists and witches are Democrats,
And the Angels are on the side of President Trump.
