ONDCP Director Sara Carter Releases Statement
in Support of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, the Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Sara Carter, released the following statement in support of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth:
“Secretary Hegseth has been a pivotal partner in President Trump’s efforts to dismantle and eliminate the narco-terrorists waging a chemical war on the American people,” said Director Carter. “Under the leadership of Secretary Hegseth, the Department of War eliminated at least eight narco-terrorist refueling vessels in the month of September alone, ensuring illicit trafficking operations were dismantled before they had the opportunity to pour deadly drugs onto U.S. streets. Secretary Hegseth has worked diligently to support our allies across Central and South America in operations to take back control of their countries from terrorist organizations causing strife and instability. President Trump’s historic decrease in drug overdose deaths and poisonings has only been possible with the partnership of Secretary Hegseth and the Department of War, along with their commitment to protecting American lives.”
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy leads and coordinates U.S. drug policy, develops and implements the President’s National Drug Control Strategy, and supports communities through the Drug Free Communities Support (DFC) and High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) programs.
