Weve knocked out 97% of the drugs coming in by water. And we are going to start now hitting land, with regard to the cartels, Trump told Fox News host Sean Hannity in an interview aired Thursday night.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment from CNBC on the presidents remarks.

The flood of American guns and ammunition, smuggled across the border, supplied by U.S. gun vendors who knowingly sell to straw purchasers, is the source of cartel violence.
