Trump next eyes 'land' in drug war, warns cartel boats are ‘not faster than missiles’

Eric Trump warns drug cartels are ‘poisoning our society’ with fentanyl

Trump Organization Executive Vice President Eric Trump joins ‘The Story’ to discuss the growing fentanyl threat, rising dangers for ICE agents and how President Donald Trump plans to combat drug cartels.

President Donald Trump is next looking "at land" in Latin America, after the U.S. military has conducted at least five fatal strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean since September. 

"We are certainly looking at land now because we've got the sea very well under control," Trump told reporters Wednesday. "We've had a couple of days where there isn't a boat to be found, and I view that as a good thing, not a bad thing." 

Trump said he wasn’t interested in having the Coast Guard simply stop the alleged drugs boats because "we’ve been doing that for 30 years and it has been totally ineffective." 

"They have faster boats. Some of these boats are seriously, I mean, they're world class speedboats," Trump said. "But they're not faster than missiles. But we've been trying to do that for years."
