President Trump should take the time and effort to read the 2025 National Drug Threat Assessment (NDTA) issued annually by the US DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION (DEA) that provides drug-related intelligence to local law enforcement, health professionals, educators and law enforcement agencies!
1) Fentanyl has recently emerged as the currently illegal drug of choice with American consumers its a synthetic drug that is much easier to manufacture and transport, as compared to plant-based counterparts - heroin, cocaine, marijuana!
2) There is a genuine consensus fentanyl precursor chemicals come from China and India, then smuggled past the Mexican authorities employing multiple strategies - much of it is pressed into pill form to resemble legitimate medications entering the country!
3) Six drug cartels all centered in Mexico have been identified as operating clandestine labs responsible for combining the precursor chemicals into fentanyl - all have been designated as transnational criminal s and designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the US government!
4) The Sinaloa and the Jalisco New Generation Cartels CJNK) are the primary suppliers of fentanyl directed to the American market with the Northeast Cartel, New Michoacan Family, Gulf Cartel CDG) and United Cartel ( CU) supplying lesser amounts of these illegal drugs to the US consumer!
5) Tren de Arasua
A violent Venezuela founded in 2012/2013 which originated with a gang members in Tocoro Prison and are involved in human trafficking, smuggling Central and South migrants into the US, then extorting them to pay through prostitution and/or engaging in criminal activities - if caught results in their deportation!
6) Members of Tren de Arasua often worked for larger criminal organizations, engaged in assaults, robberies and contract killings - which proved to be an additional burden for law-abiding Venezuelans seeking citizenship!
7) Tren de Arasua also engaged in small scale drug trafficking, transporting drugs to supply local dealers and often.selling drugs at the street level!
8) Tren de Arassa was tolerated by the Mexican Cartels because it positioned itself as to never be in direct competition with the more powerful Mexican drug cartels - they are neither involved in importing precursor chemicals from China/India nor engaged in the manufacture of fentanyl in drug labs!
9)They refrained from exporting a variety of drugs to US to meet the demand and actually performed a necessary functions at the "grassroots"
THE 2025 NATIONAL DRUG ASSESSMENT, PUBLISHED BY A BRANCH OF THE US GOVERNMENT, MAKES NO MENTION OF VENEZUELA AS A SUPPLIER OF ILLEGAL DRUGS , INCLUDING FENTANYL, BEING SMUGGLED INTO THE USA!
IF THE US DRUG ENFORCEMENT ADMINISTRATION IN ITS 2025 ASSESSMENT DOESN'T THINK VENEZUELA WARRANTS MENTION AS A NATION RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTRIBUTING TO AMERICAN'S DRUG PROBLEM, WHY ARE THESE BOATS BEING TARGETED BY THE US MILITARY!
THE MEXICAN CARTELS HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF ENGAGING IN VIOLENT "TURF WARS" IN AN EFFORT TO ELIMINATE THE COMPETITION AND INCREASE THEIR SHARE OF THE AMERICAN MARKET FOR ILLEGAL DRUGS"
IF THESE LARGE AND POWERFUL CARTELS WERE INTENT ON ELIMINATING THEIR MEXICAN RIVAL, IT IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THEY WOULD TOLERATE A WEAKER CARTEL FROM VENEZUELA ENCROACHING ON THEIR ON THEIR TERRITORY!
