Karoline Leavitt Issues a FAFO Warning to Mexican Drug Cartels [WATCH]

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the U.S. State Department is actively assisting Americans in Mexico as tensions involving drug cartels continue, emphasizing that there are currently no reports of U.S. citizens being harmed.

Leavitt stated that Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the State Department have established round-the-clock support for Americans on the ground.

“Secretary Rubio and the State Department are absolutely on it. We hear from Americans directly who are in Mexico because the State Department immediately set up 24/7, phone lines, and they’re taking hundreds of calls a day, providing Americans on the ground with travel support and advice.”

According to Leavitt, updated travel advisories have also been issued and will continue to be revised as necessary.

“The State Department also has issued new travel advisories, and they will continue to update those as the situation progresses. So we encourage all Americans in Mexico to, of course, adhere to the guidance provided by the State Department.”

She added that, at present, there are no confirmed reports of Americans being injured, kidnapped, or killed.

“Right now, we are unaware of any reports of any Americans being hurt, kidnapped or killed, and the Mexican drug cartels know not to lay a finger on a single American, or they will pay severe consequences under this President, and they already are.”

Leavitt credited President Donald Trump’s policies for strengthening U.S. action against drug cartels operating in Mexico and trafficking narcotics into the United States.

“This operation, which was carried out successfully by Mexican authorities, was of course, supported by the United States, would not have happened without the leadership of President Trump, he has made it a day one priority to target and go after these vicious drug cartels that have shipped deadly poison to our country for far too long.”

She pointed to a series of actions taken by the administration, including an executive order designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.

“He signed an executive order to rightfully designate them as foreign terrorist organizations.”

Leavitt also referenced additional measures taken by the administration.

“We have seen the President take unilateral lethal action against drug boats sailing through the Caribbean, and now, of course, we are coordinating and cooperating and pushing the Mexican government to do more to end the scourge of deadly drugs coming through our United States southern border, which, of course, is now secure thanks to President Trump as well.”
