Trump vows 'unmatched military might' against cartels at UNGA
At the 81st UN General Assembly, US President Donald Trump vowed to deploy "unmatched military might" against drug cartels and regional threats, equating them with terror networks and announcing a defense agreement granting permanent US security control over Greenland. Trump justified military action by designating cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, calling them "the ISIS of the Western Hemisphere" and stating they should be "killed, exiled, or detained as enemy combatants." He also touted the Greenland pact with Denmark as blocking adversaries from establishing military presence or sensitive investments there. Trump accused Cuba of coordinating with left-wing radical groups in the US, rejected global governance and taxes, and affirmed American independence as non-negotiable ahead of the nation's 250th anniversary.
