Description
Vice President JD Vance says U.S. forces won’t invade Mexico despite the president designating drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, opening the door for potential military action.
Asked about the potential for ground forces during a visit to the U.S.-Mexico border, Vance responded emphatically: “No. Next question.”
He declined to offer details on any potential air strikes or other military activity.
“The president has a megaphone, and he’ll speak to those issues as he feels necessary,” Vance said.
Vance went to Eagle Pass, Texas, along with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to tout a drop in illegal border crossings.
Vance said the administration is still working to ramp up its capacity to carry out the mass deportations that Trump promised during his campaign.
He blamed a need for more funding and alleged that former President Joe Biden “gutted” the immigration enforcement apparatus.
