Kevin Cabrera and Dan Newlin backed bombing drug boats from Venezuela, imposing global tariffs.

Florida leaders tapped by President Donald Trump to lead U.S. diplomacy are championing the President decision to take a strong stance with Venezuela.

Both Ambassador to Panama Kevin Cabrera and Ambassador to Colombia Dan Newlin support the attacks of Venezuelan boats allegedly trafficking drugs to North America.

“How many boats would have made it to the United States of America, transported that cocaine, possibly laced with fentanyl and other drugs?” Newlin said. “They’re killing our Americans. Over 200,000 Americans a year die just from fentanyl overdoses. How much of those drugs on those boats would have been already filtered through into our country? All of it.”

Cabrera said Trump was leading through strength, and the entire Western Hemisphere will benefit from it.

“I know that we’re going to do our very best to help rise that up,” he said.

The diplomats spoke on a foreign policy panel at the Rescuing the American Dream summit on a panel moderated by U.S. Sen. Rick Scott.

Cabrera listed “Liberation Day” — when Trump announced tariffs on imports from nations around the globe — as a top achievement of the administration as well.

“He started to gain American respect again on the global stage,” Cabrera said. “At the end of the day, a lot of these countries were ripping us off for years. You look at the trade barriers that they had for us, but we had none for them. He’s balancing the scales. He’s making sure that Americans and American businesses are treated fairly, and that we’re bringing back jobs for our country.”

Carlos Trujillo, a former Ambassador to the Organization of the American States, also noted Trump’s willingness to engage in international politics.

“There’ve been very few Presidents and senators who have sort of stuck their neck out into other elections and to what’s going on and in the Western Hemisphere, and really put their voice out about who they thought should be running the countries,” Trujillo said. “President Trump is not shy.”
