war on cartels

00:00:00

On September 2nd in the Caribbean Sea, a

00:00:03

US military drone found what it was

00:00:05

looking for, a 12 m long wooden boat.

00:00:08

They're commonly used here by fishermen

00:00:10

and also drug traffickers. Typically,

00:00:13

the US would stop and search the boat to

00:00:15

find out which. But this time, the US

00:00:17

just blew it up. 2 weeks later, the US

00:00:20

blew up another boat, then another, and

00:00:22

another, and another.

00:00:25

Donald Trump claimed the dozens of

00:00:26

people killed by these strikes worked

00:00:28

for drug cartels and that this was just

00:00:31

the start of his new strategy to stop

00:00:33

them. To

00:00:34

>> every terrorist thug smuggling poisonous

00:00:36

drugs into the United States of America,

00:00:38

please be warned that we will blow you

00:00:40

out of existence. We have no choice.

00:00:42

>> But most of Trump's strikes were in the

00:00:44

wrong place. Most drugs are produced in

00:00:46

Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, and Mexico,

00:00:49

then trafficked overland or through the

00:00:50

Pacific. Then in October, we found out

00:00:54

the real target.

00:00:55

>> Trump is ramping up his military

00:00:56

campaign in the Caribbean.

00:00:58

>> Made it clear he wants Venezuelan

00:01:00

President Nicolas Maduro removed from

00:01:02

power. >> Trump ordered the Navy's largest and

00:01:04

most advanced aircraft carrier to the

00:01:06

region. >> Authorized the CIA to operate inside

00:01:09

Venezuela.

00:01:10

>> Warned Venezuela and its cartels at

00:01:13

striking land is next. How did Trump

00:01:16

turn a war on drug cartels into a

00:01:18

potential war with Venezuela? This is

00:01:20

not stretching the envelope. This is

00:01:22

tearing the envelope apart.

00:01:23

>> Where could he take that war next?

00:01:25

>> It seems like a recipe for a war that

00:01:26

could go on forever.

00:01:31

[music]

00:01:40

Trump's right about one thing. The

00:01:42

cartels are stronger than ever. The

00:01:44

first modern drug cartel was formed in

00:01:46

the 1970s by a Colombian named Pablo

00:01:48

Escobar. He smuggled cocaine through the

00:01:51

Caribbean and made millions of dollars.

00:01:53

Then he united several gangs into one

00:01:55

organization and made billions. By the

00:01:58

1980s, the Median cartel was making 80%

00:02:00

of the cocaine trafficked into the US

00:02:02

and its private army wre havoc across

00:02:04

Colombia. This is the most violent of

00:02:07

cities. There's a killing here every 3

00:02:09

hours. some committed by these

00:02:11

motorcycle gangs who work on retainers

00:02:13

for the cartel.

00:02:14

>> The Median cartel was too powerful for

00:02:16

the Colombian government to take on

00:02:18

alone. So, the US helped by sending its

00:02:20

law enforcement agencies and its

00:02:22

military.

00:02:23

>> America's public enemy number one in the

00:02:26

United States is drug abuse.

00:02:29

>> Richard Nixon was the first president to

00:02:31

declare a war on drugs, but Ronald

00:02:33

Reagan supercharged the military's role

00:02:35

in it. He sent so-called military

00:02:37

advisers and weapons to Colombia and

00:02:39

ordered the Navy to shut down

00:02:40

trafficking routes. But the war on drugs

00:02:42

wasn't an actual war. And the Median

00:02:45

cartel wasn't an invading force that the

00:02:47

military could shoot without warning. It

00:02:49

was a group of criminals. So while the

00:02:51

military could help find cartel members,

00:02:53

law enforcement arrested and prosecuted

00:02:55

them. That's how the US helped dismantle

00:02:57

the Medí cartel and eventually find

00:02:59

Escobar, who died in a shootout. But the

00:03:02

war on drugs continued and presidents

00:03:04

kept involving the military in it.

00:03:06

George HW Bush invaded Panama partly by

00:03:08

citing Panama's leader indictment for

00:03:11

drug trafficking. Bill Clinton deepened

00:03:12

the military partnership with Colombia

00:03:14

and under George W. Bush, the military

00:03:16

shared intelligence with Mexico. The

00:03:19

strategy didn't win the war on drugs,

00:03:21

but it made a difference.

00:03:22

>> Had the US never focused on this issue,

00:03:24

you can only imagine these groups could

00:03:26

be even more powerful, right? Will

00:03:27

Freeman is an expert on organized crime

00:03:29

in Latin America.

00:03:30

>> But has this stopped drug closure

00:03:33

radically decreased them into the United

00:03:34

States? No, it has not.

00:03:38

>> Overdose deaths from cocaine and heroin

00:03:40

increased over the last 25 years and

00:03:42

deaths from fentanyl skyrocketed to

00:03:43

almost 80,000 [music]

00:03:44

in 2023. This demand kept the cartels in

00:03:47

business. After the Medían cartel, the

00:03:50

Cali cartel took over. Then Colombians

00:03:52

started trafficking through Mexican

00:03:53

criminal groups who evolved into even

00:03:55

deadlier [music] cartels. When the US

00:03:56

and Mexico cracked down on them, they

00:03:58

just fractured into more [music]

00:04:00

cartels. Today, these cartels are

00:04:02

partnering with criminal groups in

00:04:03

Europe and Asia to traffic drugs around

00:04:05

the world and make [music] tens of

00:04:06

billions of dollars a year. More than

00:04:09

enough money to corrupt officials,

00:04:10

innovate new ways to evade detection,

00:04:13

and diversify into other crimes like

00:04:15

human trafficking and wildlife poaching.

00:04:16

[music] These are really formidable

00:04:18

organizations and as long as there's

00:04:19

that demand and as long as there's

00:04:21

robust supply then fundamentally I think

00:04:23

you're going to be talking about putting

00:04:24

a lid on a situation but not eliminating

00:04:26

it altogether.

00:04:28

>> But Donald [music] Trump came into

00:04:29

office with a new plan to fight the

00:04:30

cartels. It didn't involve curbing

00:04:32

demand or law enforcement.

00:04:34

>> The cartels are waging war on America

00:04:37

and it's time for America to wage war on

00:04:40

the cartels.

00:04:42

>> This story is moving super fast. Trump

00:04:43

is striking both in the Caribbean and in

00:04:45

the Pacific, and he recently authorized

00:04:47

the CIA to work inside Venezuela. Now,

00:04:50

what interests me about this story is

00:04:52

how different outlets are covering it.

00:04:54

This level of insight is only possible

00:04:55

thanks to our sponsor this week, Ground

00:04:57

News. Ground News is the only website

00:04:59

and app [music] that doesn't just track

00:05:01

global news events, it dissects them. It

00:05:03

gathers stories from all over the world

00:05:04

and gives me a clear sense of how

00:05:06

they're being covered, whether that's by

00:05:08

factuality or reliability or ownership

00:05:10

or political bias. In this case, this

00:05:12

story is covered by 715 outlets. Outlets

00:05:15

on the right are emphasizing how this is

00:05:17

a maximum pressure tactic against a

00:05:19

tyrant or socialist president, and

00:05:21

outlets on the left are focusing on the

00:05:22

regime change motive and criticizing the

00:05:24

unprecedented acknowledgement of such

00:05:26

actions. Ground News also lets me

00:05:28

explore stories from all over the world,

00:05:29

giving me a sense of what may be

00:05:31

overlooked by Western media. Basically,

00:05:33

my job is to understand not just what's

00:05:35

being covered, but how it's being

00:05:36

covered. And Ground News makes that job

00:05:38

easier. and I want the same transparency

00:05:40

for my viewers. So, right now, we've

00:05:42

partnered with Ground News to offer you

00:05:44

40% off their advantage plan. That's

00:05:45

what I use every day. You can go to

00:05:47

ground.news/archparty

00:05:49

or scan the QR code for that. Ground

00:05:51

News and I share the same mission.

00:05:52

That's to make the news more

00:05:53

understandable and transparent for

00:05:55

everybody. So, thanks again to Ground

00:05:56

News for their support. Now, I'll take

00:05:58

you back to the story.

00:06:00

Trump began by focusing on aid criminal

00:06:02

groups, mostly cartels in Mexico, plus

00:06:05

trend to Ara, a gang started in a

00:06:07

Venezuelan prison, and cartel de los

00:06:09

souls, a criminal network in the

00:06:11

Venezuelan military. Trump designated

00:06:13

them as either foreign terrorist

00:06:15

organizations or specially designated

00:06:17

global terrorist groups, labels the US

00:06:19

used before.

00:06:20

>> They are now officially in the same

00:06:22

category as ISIS, and that's not good

00:06:25

for them.

00:06:26

>> But these labels didn't have anything to

00:06:27

do with the military. They just broaden

00:06:29

US law enforcement's abilities to

00:06:31

prosecute and sanction the cartels and

00:06:33

people linked to them.

00:06:34

>> So whether that is a business which

00:06:36

launderers money or goes into business

00:06:38

with a with a cartel to an immigrant who

00:06:40

may be forced to pay a ransom fee, it

00:06:43

allows to cast that very very wide net.

00:06:44

>> But then Trump sent a Navy fleet to the

00:06:46

Caribbean and authorized it to strike a

00:06:48

boat suspected of running drugs for

00:06:50

Trenua. He then wrote to Congress that

00:06:52

the people killed were unlawful

00:06:54

combatants in an armed conflict and that

00:06:56

the strikes were in self-defense. In

00:06:58

other words, because drugs are killing

00:07:00

Americans and those drugs are trafficked

00:07:02

in by cartels, Trump wanted to view the

00:07:04

cartels as combatants in a war and use

00:07:07

military force against them. Trump

00:07:08

wanted to turn the war on drugs into an

00:07:11

actual legal war. But could he do that?

00:07:16

Under the Constitution, only Congress

00:07:18

can declare war, which it didn't. nor

00:07:20

did Congress pass what's called an

00:07:21

authorization of military force. If

00:07:24

anything, Trump seems to be claiming his

00:07:26

power under the Constitution's Article

00:07:27

2, which names him the

00:07:29

commander-in-chief of the armed forces.

00:07:31

It's how Obama, Trump in his first term,

00:07:33

and Biden justified some military

00:07:35

operations. It's an already dubious

00:07:37

legal argument that Trump is stretching

00:07:39

even further because who the military

00:07:41

kills matters, too. These strikes

00:07:44

targeted members of enemy governments,

00:07:45

militaries, and rebel groups. Trump is

00:07:48

killing criminals.

00:07:50

>> There are so many problems with that.

00:07:52

>> Jeffrey K is a law professor and retired

00:07:54

military lawyer.

00:07:55

>> Most fundamentally, it's not their goal

00:07:57

to kill Americans. [music]

00:07:58

>> The US considers al-Qaeda and ISIS to be

00:08:00

enemy combatants because they launched

00:08:02

attacks to kill Americans and because

00:08:04

they commanded their members to do it.

00:08:06

>> Think of Farooq Abdab Mutal, the

00:08:08

underwear bomber. He boarded a plane in

00:08:10

London and tried to blow it up because

00:08:12

he was obeying orders from al-Qaeda

00:08:14

leadership. The question now is whether

00:08:16

Trena Arawa commanding people to traffic

00:08:18

lethal drugs to the US makes them

00:08:20

combatants, too.

00:08:21

>> This is not a evolution of that concept.

00:08:25

If you're selling drugs, you want your

00:08:27

customer to live, not die.

00:08:28

>> Trump also hasn't released any evidence

00:08:30

that these people were working for

00:08:32

Trenua.

00:08:33

This strike reportedly killed a

00:08:35

fisherman. We're killing people and we

00:08:37

don't know who they are. But the truth

00:08:39

is unless and until Congress were to

00:08:42

contest this claim of war power, the

00:08:44

president is going to run with it.

00:08:46

>> And Congress isn't contesting it. When a

00:08:48

measure came up to bar Trump from

00:08:50

striking more boats, Republicans blocked

00:08:52

it. So even though Congress hasn't

00:08:53

authorized Trump's actions, they've also

00:08:55

decided not to stop him. In October,

00:08:58

Trump deployed more warships, fighter

00:08:59

jets, drones, a submarine, and some

00:09:01

10,000 troops to the region and

00:09:03

authorized the military to strike more

00:09:04

boats. But then Trump went a step even

00:09:07

further by claiming that Trenda Ara is

00:09:10

controlled by Venezuela's dictator

00:09:12

Nicholas Maduro.

00:09:15

US spy agencies assess that while Maduro

00:09:17

may tolerate the gang, he does not

00:09:18

control it. But by linking him to

00:09:20

Trenda, Trump is claiming the power to

00:09:23

use military force in Venezuela.

00:09:25

>> When a country is unable or unwilling to

00:09:27

prevent its territory from being used by

00:09:30

non-state enemies, [music] then we

00:09:32

assert the right to act. That's how we

00:09:34

went into Pakistan to kill Osama bin

00:09:36

Laden. That could very quickly escalate

00:09:38

into a conflict with Venezuela. [music]

00:09:41

But why would Trump want to do that?

00:09:53

a has suffered under Maduro. Right after

00:09:54

he took power, the country's economy

00:09:56

fell apart. Crime increased and millions

00:09:59

fled every year, but Maduro remains in

00:10:01

power. He survives by stealing elections

00:10:04

and corrupting the military and elites

00:10:06

for their loyalty. All reasons why Trump

00:10:08

may want Maduro gone, but not the only

00:10:10

reasons. Trump also blames Maduro for

00:10:12

the thousands of Venezuelan migrants in

00:10:14

the US and may be pressuring Maduro into

00:10:16

letting him send some back. Many suggest

00:10:18

that Trump may also want access to

00:10:20

Venezuela's huge reserves of oil. But

00:10:22

when Maduro offered the US a dominant

00:10:24

stake in Venezuela's oil to avoid

00:10:26

conflict, Trump refused it, which could

00:10:28

mean Trump has a more personal reason to

00:10:30

remove Maduro.

00:10:32

[music]

00:10:34

In 2019, Trump backed a coup in

00:10:36

Venezuela that failed.

00:10:37

>> It was embarrassing for him in the end.

00:10:38

Not only was Maduro not ousted from

00:10:40

power in the end, the generals and

00:10:41

others in his administration rallied

00:10:43

behind him. [music] I think Trump wants

00:10:44

to win this one.

00:10:45

>> Trump may also be listening to the

00:10:47

people around him, especially the

00:10:48

Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. Rubio

00:10:51

for instance for him Venezuela,

00:10:53

Nicaragua and Cuba, the three remaining

00:10:56

autocracies in Latin America. If he can

00:10:59

oust Maduro, I think he believes that

00:11:00

Cuba will fall next.

00:11:02

>> Trump is sending an aircraft carrier to

00:11:04

the region, and reports say he might

00:11:05

order missile strikes in the coming

00:11:07

weeks. But anything short of a land

00:11:09

invasion isn't likely to topple Maduro.

00:11:11

This is a regime that fully controls its

00:11:14

own military at the highest levels, has

00:11:16

very sophisticated systems of espionage

00:11:18

and control within that military. And I

00:11:20

don't see him being willing to sacrifice

00:11:21

US lives, especially as a president who

00:11:23

campaigned on an end to forever wars.

00:11:32

The war on terror started after 9/11

00:11:34

when [music] Congress authorized

00:11:35

President Bush to use force against

00:11:37

basically anyone he could link to

00:11:38

al-Qaeda. Later, presidents used these

00:11:41

[music] broad limits to justify fighting

00:11:43

in dozens of countries for two decades.

00:11:46

It left the [music] US exhausted and by

00:11:48

some estimates killed 4 million people.

00:11:50

Something Donald Trump [music] promised

00:11:51

not to repeat.

00:11:52

>> We spent $9 trillion bombing the hell

00:11:56

out of the Middle East. And what [music]

00:11:58

the hell did we get other than lots of

00:11:59

dead people all including our people?

00:12:01

Under Trump, we will have no more wars,

00:12:04

no more disruptions, no wars. My

00:12:06

rhetoric is going to keep us out of

00:12:07

wars.

00:12:08

>> [music] >> But Trump's war on the cartels has even

00:12:10

fewer limits than the war on terror. He

00:12:12

doesn't have permission from Congress,

00:12:14

nor is he even seeking it.

00:12:15

>> I don't think we're going to necessarily

00:12:17

ask for a declaration of war. I think

00:12:19

we're just going to kill people that are

00:12:21

bringing drugs into our country.

00:12:22

>> Trump is also claiming the power to kill

00:12:24

suspected [music] criminals. That's a

00:12:26

much larger group than suspected

00:12:28

terrorists linked to al-Qaeda.

00:12:30

Mexican cartels are responsible for most

00:12:32

of the drugs trafficked into the US, and

00:12:34

Trump considered striking them before.

00:12:35

The president pulls me aside on at least

00:12:38

a couple occasions and [music] suggests

00:12:39

that maybe we have the US military shoot

00:12:41

missiles into Mexico.

00:12:43

>> For what? [music]

00:12:44

>> He would say to to go after the cartels.

00:12:46

>> But the authority Trump is claiming

00:12:47

could also include the power to strike

00:12:49

the [music] criminal groups those

00:12:50

cartels work with or any group Trump

00:12:52

deems as putting the US [music] in

00:12:54

danger. The problem is Trump is claiming

00:12:56

the power to go to war against anyone

00:12:58

anywhere forever. You know, what could

00:13:01

be more of a forever war than going

00:13:03

after a set of nameless, faceless

00:13:05

cartels until they stop waging war on

00:13:07

Americans, which I think we all know is

00:13:09

in some volume or other never going to

00:13:11

stop. >> And if Trump can declare war on

00:13:13

criminals, what's stopping other

00:13:14

countries from doing it, too?

00:13:16

>> Do we really want other governments to

00:13:18

be able to say, "Well, I've got a

00:13:20

criminal [music] problem, so now I'm

00:13:21

just going to call it an armed conflict

00:13:23

and unleash combat power like I'm in a

00:13:26

war." There's a human consequence for

00:13:28

that. [music] Congress is supposed to

00:13:30

place limits on the president's power to

00:13:31

declare war. Trump is showing [music]

00:13:33

what can happen when it doesn't.

Description:

Trump is walking into another ‘forever war’. Check out https://ground.news/landingV8/searchparty for 40% off unlimited access with the Vantage Plan. Access international sources and compare how stories are framed across different outlets in one place to get the full picture on any news event. Join the Newpress waitlist here: https://newpress.com/ This video unpacks why the Trump administration is launching military strikes on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean — and how those operations have brought the U.S. into direct confrontation with Venezuela. It traces Trump’s claim that the cartels are “terrorists,” his justification under self-defense, and the legal gray area surrounding presidential war powers. Through maps, archival footage, and expert analysis, the video examines how far a president can go without congressional approval — and whether Trump’s campaign against the cartels marks a new expansion of U.S. military power in the hemisphere.
