Donald Trump’s brand-new secretary of protection spoke with Fox Information’ morning crew Friday and stated that invading nations equivalent to Mexico is a really actual possibility.
“The drug cartels have been declared terrorist organizations,” “Fox & Pals” host Brian Kilmeade stated, including that invading nations equivalent to Somalia, Sudan, and Syria could be prime for an American navy strike if a terrorist group equivalent to al-Qaida was discovered there.
