Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has not ruled out the possibility of military action against fentanyl labs in Mexico, stating that “nothing’s off the table” when it comes to defending U.S. sovereignty.
Hegseth made the remarks during a recent interview with Fox News’s Laura Ingraham, reinforcing the administration’s commitment to securing the border and combating drug cartels.
When asked about the possibility of targeting fentanyl production sites in Mexico, Hegseth made it clear that all options are being considered.
“Anything is on the table. The commander-in-chief, ultimately, with my consultation and with the chairman and others, will make those determinations. But nothing’s off the table. Our sovereignty will be defended,” Hegseth said.
His message to drug cartels was direct: “We’re taking nothing off the table, nothing. We will do whatever it takes to secure the American homeland, to maintain our sovereignty and protect the American people.”
