Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley following President Donald J. Trump's announcement yesterday to enhance counter-narcotics efforts in U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM)'s area of responsibility:

"This is the United States military. You will not penetrate this country. You will not get past jump street. You're not going to come here and kill additional Americans and we will marshal whatever assets are required to prevent your entry into this country."

Thanks to our U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard teammates for their critical efforts in this fight.
