President Donald Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday night that the United States is “going to start now hitting land” in its fight against drug cartels—framing the move as a response to what he claimed is cartel control of Mexico and a U.S. death toll in the “250,000–300,000” range every year.

    It’s going to be like when the US was assassinating random Venezuelan fishermen. They’re going to kill maybe one or two drug dealers, but mostly they’ll just kill randomly across Mexico and then lie afterwards to claim they were cartels.

    They don’t care about killing actual cartel members, they just love to kill.
