This is intended to be a group that works together to make sure that we’re each defending our own sovereignty, we’re each defending our own security and economic prosperity, but then also continuing to build on these relationships to ensure that we can do that in a way that’s effective, defeating the enemies that we have amongst us in the cartel organizations, which our country has designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
