Trump wird wegen Krieg gegen Drogenkartelle nicht vor den Kongress gehen: „Sie werden sozusagen tot sein“

Donald Trump does not plan to ask Congress for a declaration of war against drug cartels after his administration [killed at least 37 people ](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-drug-boat-strikes-pacific-colombia-b2850952.html)with missile strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean.

Asked why he won’t seek a resolution from Congress for a military campaign taking aim at South American regimes he claims are[ fueling a drug epidemic in the United States](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-cia-venezuela-boat-strike-land-b2846191.html), Trump said his government is “just going to kill people” instead.

“I think we’re just going to kill people who are bringing drugs into our country. We’re going to kill them,” Trump said , during a [White House roundtable with administration officials](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-news-live-ballroom-government-shutdown-b2850871.html) Thursday.

He doesn’t care how he’s remembered as long as he suffers no consequences now. He talks about the Trump brand, implying the future of his kids, but he means himself.

Trump isn’t killing Drug Cartel members. He is killing people in boats.
