Vienna, Austria – ONDCP Director Sara Carter addressed the 69th session of the United Nations’ Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND). The CND unites 53 member states in a shared cause—to monitor and resolve global drug problems. While at the CND, Director Carter delivered the National Statement on behalf of the United States, and highlighted the successful actions President Trump is taking to annihilate the criminal enterprises that profit from the illicit drug trade and are responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we are saving lives and driving a stronger global response against the terror of drugs,” said Director Carter in the U.S. National Statement. “This forum is an opportunity for the nations of the world to band together and combat not only narcotics, but criminal enterprises and their funding mechanisms, their allies in places of power, their disrespect for the law, and their terror over our citizens. Our advantage is our ability to work together, to respect the law, to leverage the talents and good character of our citizens, and to pool our might to target those bringing about this deadly destruction. If our joint goal is truly a peaceful world and thriving, healthy citizenry, then we cannot let the cancers that aim to destroy us continue to prosper.”

In the National Statement, Director Carter highlighted ongoing problems with chemical precursors from countries such as China. “We know where the chemical precursors are coming from. They are manufactured by the millions of tons in China,” said Director Carter. While at the CND, Director Carter also met with representatives from a number of countries to rally support for ending the reign of narcotraffickers. Read the full U.S. National Statement here.

Remarks by Director Carter at the United Nations’ Commission on Narcotic Drugs

class=”has-text-align-center”>Director Sara Carter
The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy

Remarks at the 69th Session of the United Nations’ Commission on Narcotic Drugs in Vienna, Austria

March 9, 2026

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen.

First, Mr. Chair, allow me to congratulate you on your appointment and assure you of our full cooperation to work with you to have a successful session. Thank you very much.

I join you all today not only to speak for the United States of America, but to give a voice to the mothers and fathers of murdered children…

The families torn apart…

The communities ravaged…

And the millions of Americans who cannot join us today because their lives were cut short by illicit drugs.

But, now under President Donald J. Trump’s leadership, we are saving lives and driving a stronger global response against the terror of drugs.

For example, Operation Southern Spear in the Caribbean Sea and the successful apprehension of the dictator, Maduro, has brought the world’s attention to the Western Hemisphere.

And we are not alone in our strengthened efforts.

Our neighbors and allies are joining us to banish these poisons from our streets, our communities, and our homes.

We are working together to protect our children from those who value profit over their lives.

I have recently participated in an event in Florida that is evidence of this renewed cooperation.

In Miami, our Secretary of War Pete Hegseth convened a meeting with military and security leaders of the Western Hemisphere to discuss how we can further our work together to take down cartels.

Our reinvigorated collaboration also comes on the heels of Mexico’s elimination of “el Mencho”, a notorious cartel leader.

Despite their successes, our friends and neighbors took significant losses.

I join the Government of Mexico and the families of the fallen in their grief. Thank you.

And my heart weeps for the families of those across the region whose lives were taken far too soon by cartel violence.

But now we must double down…

We must bring the fight to where these criminal networks stash their poisons, store their money, ship their deadly inventory, and feel the safest.

Last year, we seized over 47 million fentanyl-laced counterfeit pills and nearly 100,000 pounds of fentanyl powder coming into our country, representing almost 369 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

Yet, almost 80,000 American lives were lost to drug overdoses and poisonings. This includes cocaine and methamphetamine laced with illicit fentanyl.

In response, the U.S. has recently designated fentanyl, and its precursors, weapons of mass destruction.

Cartels and dealers see fentanyl as another way to boost their profits, even at the risk of some of their customers dropping dead, because adulteration with this substance enhances addiction.

These bad actors, and we know there are many, are waging a chemical war…

A war they can easily fight by putting in minimal effort to skirt still-nascent regulations on fentanyl and other deadly precursor chemicals.

But we know where the chemical precursors are coming from. 

They are manufactured by the millions of tons in China.

We know they move through the global supply chain.

We know that China’s weak export controls and lax enforcement allow its chemical industry to foster friendships with the cartels. At the same time, China’s overly effective controls over rare earth minerals wreak havoc on legitimate industries.

And we are working tirelessly to halt the trade of precursors at its source, not only to protect American lives, but to protect the lives of the citizens of the world.

This forum is an opportunity for the nations of the world to band together and combat not only narcotics, but criminal enterprises and their funding mechanisms, their allies in places of power, their disrespect for the law, and their terror over our citizens.

Their advantage is that they do not have to play by any rules and they don’t have anyone to answer to.

But our advantage is our ability to work together, to respect the law, to leverage the talents and good character of all of our citizens, and to pool our might to target those bringing about this deadly destruction.

If our joint goal is truly a peaceful world and thriving, healthy citizenry, then we cannot let the cancers that aim to destroy us continue to prosper.

Thank you.

U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day, 2026

Source: United States White House

class=”has-text-align-center”>BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A PROCLAMATION

This U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day, we extend our prayers and support to every American captive forced to spend days, months, or years in harrowing darkness and confinement.  To every American unjustly held abroad — we will not waver in our commitment to bringing you home safely and securely.

Since returning to office, I have worked tirelessly to deliver on my promise to leave no American behind.  In just 1 year, we have secured the release of 101 detained Americans abroad — a record-breaking achievement.  We have successfully brokered a historic peace deal between Israel and Gaza to deliver all remaining hostages to their families and loved ones; secured the release of more than a dozen wrongfully detained Americans from Venezuela following our decisive action against the Maduro regime; and overseen the freedom of hostages from Afghanistan, Russia, and Belarus.  No longer will their days be marked by tallies on the wall; instead, they will be marked by long-awaited reunions with family, the freedom to rebuild their lives, and the lasting contributions they will make to their communities and our Nation.

This year especially, we also remember that, 47 years ago, the brutal Iranian regime seized power on the backs of American hostages.  Over the course of the nearly five decades since, Iran has routinely and cruelly detained innocent Americans to use as leverage against weak Presidents of the past.  Under my leadership, we are finally putting an end to this evil practice.

Despite our tremendous progress, our work on behalf of peace will not be complete until every American being held hostage or wrongfully detained is liberated.  My Administration is executing a foreign policy of peace through strength, backed by the mightiest military on earth and an unwavering commitment to defend American lives, safety, and interests.  I recently signed an Executive Order to enhance our efforts to protect United States citizens from wrongful detention abroad by expanding our methods to take action against foreign actors who threaten the safety of our citizens.  The Secretary of State may now designate any foreign country as a State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention and impose firm retributions such as sanctions, travel restrictions, and the inadmissibility of foreign nationals into our country.  Iran was the first State Sponsor of Wrongful Detention to be designated under this new authority.  For as long as I am President, the United States will never yield to our enemies – and when we find them, they will be met with swift justice.

For 250 years, America has stood as a beacon of freedom across the world — undaunted, unbroken, and unshaken in our commitment to preserving our strength.  We will never cease our efforts to defend the dignity of the human person and the enduring promise of liberty for all.  Today and every day, we pray for God to place His protecting hand over every brave hostage and wrongful detainee, their loved ones, and our glorious Nation.

The Congress, by Public Law 118-31 approved December 22, 2023, has designated March 9 of each year as “U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day.”

NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim March 9, 2026, as U.S. Hostage and Wrongful Detainee Day.  On this day, as we fly the Hostage and Wrongful Detainee flag at the White House, I call upon the people of the United States to observe this day with relevant programs, ceremonies, and activities.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

    Democrats’ Reckless DHS Shutdown Hits Americans Hard as 100,000+ Workers Go Without Pay

    Source: United States White House

    As Radical Left Democrats drag the Department of Homeland Security shutdown into its 24th day, everyday Americans are paying the price. Now, as TSA officers work without paychecks for the third time in nearly six months, crippling staffing shortages and hours-long security lines are gripping airports as millions of families head out for spring break.

    The chaos unfolded this weekend at airports across the country:

    • “There’s been a lot of frustration. A lot of people are very upset,” said a traveler at William P. Hobby Airport in Houston — where TSA wait times neared four hours.
    • “This is ridiculous. This is crazy. We get here, we go through Customs — and it’s so packed in here, you can’t even find the direction they’re trying to give,” said a traveler at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport — where lines snaked through multiple floors and spilled into the parking garage.
    • “It’s the longest I’ve ever seen it. I’ve flown into Atlanta several times, and this is by far the longest I’ve ever seen it in my life,” said a traveler at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — where passengers were met with mounting wait times and ground delays.
    • “We’re fed up. We’ve had enough. This is the third shutdown in a matter of six months,” said a 10-year veteran TSA officer in Phoenix.

    It’s not just airports reeling from the effects of the Democrat Shutdown. Democrats have cut off resources and funding for FEMA, the U.S. Coast Guard, and thousands of federal law enforcement officers — jeopardizing America’s border security, maritime safety, and ability to respond to emergencies.

    Americans’ safety and security are on the line each day the Democrat Shutdown continues. Democrats negotiated a bipartisan, full-year DHS funding bill — then walked away from the table, choosing illegal aliens over public safety and forcing these essential workers to serve without pay yet again.

    Radical Left Democrats must stop playing politics with our homeland security.

    America 250: Presidential Message on the Anniversary of the Selma Marches

    Source: United States White House

    Today marks the 61st anniversary of the Selma Marches—a defining chapter in our Nation’s righteous crusade for equal justice under the law.

    Beginning on March 7, 1965, thousands of civil rights advocates marched along U.S. Highway 80 in Alabama, traveling from Selma to the State Capitol in Montgomery to demand an end to unjust practices that denied African American citizens the right to vote.  It was a painful moment in our Nation’s history, when discrimination and intimidation were used to deny Americans the freedoms promised in our founding documents.  The marchers endured brutal violence, threats, and ridicule, but they did not back down.  Ultimately, the courage of the marchers and their devotion to freedom set the stage for landmark reforms that strengthened and secured the right to vote for every American citizen.

    As we mark 61 years since these solemn marches, we are reminded that free, fair, and honest elections are the bedrock of our constitutional Republic.  Since I returned to office last year, my Administration has taken comprehensive steps to safeguard American elections by strengthening voter citizenship verification, promoting paper ballots, and banning foreign nationals from interfering in our elections.  I am also committed to signing commonsense legislation that requires proof of identification to vote—a measure supported by a vast majority of Americans, including black Americans, and one that affirms the dignity and equal capability of all citizens to participate in our democracy, despite the radical left’s efforts to portray it as discriminatory.

    On this anniversary, we salute the brave individuals who reaffirmed the eternal truth that every human being is endowed by Almighty God with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  And as we celebrate 250 glorious years of American independence, we recommit to building a more just and prosperous Nation—one that protects the God-given dignity of every citizen, defends the rule of law, and preserves the blessings of freedom for generations to come.

    Commitment to Countering Cartel Criminal Activity

    Source: United States White House

    class=”has-text-align-center”>BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

    A PROCLAMATION

    The United States, under my leadership, has demonstrated a sustained commitment towards achieving the dismantlement of cartels and foreign terrorists operating in the Western Hemisphere.  My Administration has designated a number of cartels and transnational gangs as foreign terrorist organizations and has since dedicated unprecedented resources towards their destruction.  These international entities control territories and commerce, extort political and judicial systems, wield arms and field military capabilities, and use assassinations and terrorism to achieve their ends.  In furtherance of our efforts, the Secretary of War established the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition, a pledge from military leaders and representatives from 17 countries demonstrating that the region is ready to operationalize hard power to defeat these threats to our security and civilization.  We will address these grave dangers by use of any necessary resources and legally available authorities, together with our partner nations.

    NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim as follows: 

    (1)  Criminal cartels and foreign terrorist organizations in the Western Hemisphere should be demolished to the fullest extent possible consistent with applicable law.

    (2)  The United States and its allies should coordinate to deprive these organizations of any control of territory and access to financing or resources necessary to conduct their campaigns of violence.

    (3)  The United States will train and mobilize partner nation militaries to achieve the most effective fighting force necessary to dismantle cartels and their ability to export violence and pursue influence through organized intimidation.

    (4)  The United States and its allies should keep external threats at bay, including malign foreign influences from outside the Western Hemisphere.

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of March, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-six, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and fiftieth.

    Combating Cybercrime, Fraud, and Predatory Schemes Against American Citizens

    Source: United States White House

    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered:

    Section 1Purpose and Policy.  Cybercrime, fraud, and predatory schemes are draining American families of their life savings, stealing the benefits of years of work, and destroying the lives of our youth.  These activities — which include deploying ransomware and malware, phishing, financial fraud, “sextortion” and other extortion schemes, impersonation, and more — are often coordinated campaigns carried out by Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) aimed at the most vulnerable among us.  In many cases, foreign regimes provide willing or tacit state support to cybercrime and predatory schemes, creating a shadow economy fueled by stolen identities, coercion, forced labor, and human trafficking.

    It is the policy of the United States to protect Americans from, and harden our financial and digital systems against, these threats.  The United States shall counter attacks on Americans with a commensurate response that includes law enforcement, diplomacy, and potential offensive actions.  It is further the policy of the United States to provide support to victims of these crimes, expand public alerts, and prioritize protection for those most at risk to end the exploitation and victimization of Americans.

    Sec. 2Combating Scam Centers and Cybercrime.  (a)  The Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of War, the Attorney General, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Office of the National Cyber Director, and in coordination with the Assistant to the President and Homeland Security Advisor (APHSA), shall:

    (i)   within 60 days of the date of this order, review the relevant operational, technical, diplomatic, and regulatory frameworks in place to determine how each can be improved to best combat TCOs engaged in cyber-enabled crime and similar predatory schemes against Americans; and

    (ii)  within 120 days of the date of this order, using the results of the review directed in subsection (a)(i) of this section, submit to the President, through the APHSA, an action plan that identifies the TCOs responsible for scam centers and cybercrime and proposes solutions to prevent, disrupt, investigate, and dismantle these TCOs.  This action plan shall provide for the creation of an operational cell within the National Coordination Center (NCC) established pursuant to section 6(d) of Executive Order 14159 of January 20, 2025 (Protecting the American People Against Invasion), which will be responsible for coordinating Federal efforts to detect, disrupt, dismantle, and deter — including by involving the private sector as appropriate — cyber-enabled criminal activity conducted by foreign TCOs and associated networks that target United States persons, businesses, critical infrastructure, or public services.

    (b)  The action plan shall describe how, consistent with applicable law, the Attorney General and the Secretary of Homeland Security, supported by the Secretary of War, shall use relevant technical capabilities, threat intelligence, and operational insights from commercial cybersecurity firms and other non-Federal entities, as appropriate, to enhance attribution, tracking, and disruption of malicious cyber actors and enabling infrastructure engaged in cybercrime, fraud, and predatory schemes.

    (c)  The action plan and NCC operational cell shall include mechanisms to improve information sharing, operational coordination, and rapid response across the Federal Government, and shall align with existing law enforcement frameworks and efforts to counter cyber-enabled threats emanating from foreign jurisdictions.

    (d)  The Attorney General shall continue to prioritize prosecutions of defendants engaged in cyber-enabled fraud, including scam centers and sextortion schemes, and, consistent with the principles of Federal prosecution, shall pursue the most serious, provable offenses encompassed by such fraudulent schemes.

    (e)  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Secretary of Homeland Security, acting through the Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, shall partner with the NCC to provide training, technical assistance, and resilience building to support State, local, Tribal, and territorial (SLTT) partners, including to expand defensive capacity, share threat intelligence, and harden SLTT partners’ critical infrastructure systems against cybercrime exploitation by TCOs.

    Sec. 3Victim Restoration Program.  Within 90 days of the date of this order, the Attorney General shall submit a recommendation to the President, through the APHSA, regarding the establishment of a Victims Restoration Program designed to provide, to the greatest extent authorized by law and in consideration of the Department of Justice’s goal of serving all victims of crime, restoration or remission to victims of cyber-enabled fraud schemes from funds clawed back, forfeited, or seized from the TCOs that perpetrate such schemes.

    Sec. 4International Engagement.  The Secretary of State, in coordination with the NCC, shall engage with foreign governments to demand enforcement actions against TCOs operating within their borders and greater cooperation with United States law enforcement.  The Secretary of State shall take all necessary and appropriate steps to ensure that nations that tolerate such predatory activity shall face consequences consistent with United States law and policy, such as the limitation of foreign assistance, the application of targeted sanctions, visa restrictions, trade penalties, and, where appropriate, the immediate expulsion from the United States of foreign officials and diplomats complicit in these schemes.  The Secretary of State shall also coordinate these actions with allies and partners to enhance the consequences of actions taken against nations that tolerate predatory activity. 

    Sec. 5General Provisions.  (a)  Nothing in this order shall be construed to impair or otherwise effect:

    (i)   the authority granted by law to an executive department or agency, or the head thereof; or

    (ii)  the functions of the Director of the Office of Management and Budget relating to budgetary, administrative, or legislative proposals.

    (b)  This order shall be implemented consistent with applicable law and subject to the availability of appropriations.

    (c)  This order is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

    (d)  The costs for publication of this order shall be borne by the Department of Homeland Security.

    White House Unveils President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America

    Source: United States White House

    The White House today released “President Trump’s Cyber Strategy for America,” outlining the Administration’s priorities for ensuring that America remains unrivaled in cyberspace. It calls for unprecedented coordination across government and the private sector to invest in the best technologies and continue world-class innovation, and to make the most of America’s cyber capabilities for both offensive and defensive missions.

    This strategy communicates the Trump Administration’s cyber vision and approach to the American people, to Congress, to our partners in industry and allies across the globe—and also to adversaries. It explains the Administration’s priorities, summarized in six policy pillars, which will guide action and resourcing through the follow-on policy vehicles. This strategy builds on President Trump’s actions to date, and requires a level of coordination, commitment, and political will never before marshalled against cyber threats. President Trump’s leadership has created a new era in cyberspace.
