Inside the Action: USCG Defends Maritime Borders

[Music] The brave men and women of the Coast Guard do work every single day, 24/7, and they do it with excellence. Their dedication, their resilience, and their patriotism is something that we all can admire and does not go unnoticed. Today is a historic day here at Port Everglades. Over 22.5 tons or 45,000 pounds of cocaine and 50 lb of marijuana are valued at over a half a billion dollar are going to be offloaded and taken out of circulation. This action is a testimony to President Trump's commitment to delivering for the American people. and he has unwavering dedication to our military strength, to our border security, our law enforcement are producing incredible results, and his leadership is making America safe again. Thanks to the Coast Guard's relentless maritime security, and their interdiction efforts, $517 million worth of illegal drugs will never reach American communities. Today's massive drug seizure is further proof of that work. We're protecting American people and we're also making sure that cartels are not profiting from the trafficking of these drugs and preventing violence in our communities. Under President Trump's leadership, we are dedicated to also making sure we're addressing the needs of the Coast Guard. We are going to maintain our vast maritime domain and that we're going to ensure that we continue to lead the way. Thank you to all of those in the Coast Guard, the other agencies partnering with us today for your work in preventing drug smuggling and all that you've done to bring these drugs offline so that they can be taken out of our communities.
