Bill O'Reilly: Trump will use drones if cartels don't withdraw
Former Fox News host Bill O’Reilly predicts that if Mexican drug cartels refuse to surrender or halt their operations, President Trump's next step will be to send weaponized drones to attack them.
"I fully expect that to happen," O'Reilly said during a Monday appearance on NewsNation's "On Balance."
"If they don't recede, you're gonna see dead bodies all over the place and that's coming soon," he added.
Trump announced Monday morning an immediate pause on proposed tariffs on the country after reaching a deal with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
In a post to Truth Social, Trump revealed he had spoken to Sheinbaum and negotiated assistance to strengthen the United States' border sovereignty and deter drug trafficking into the country.
"It was a very friendly conversation wherein she agreed to immediately supply 10,000 Mexican Soldiers on the Border separating Mexico and the United States," the president wrote.
Sheinbaum said that efforts would begin immediately regarding security and trade between both nations.
The move comes after concessions made by Colombia following Trump's threat of tariffs on the South American country for initially refusing to allow deported migrants to return via U.S. military aircraft.
