I would like to share my account just to increase their knowledge of our whole world.
Thank you so much.

From the New York Times, it's the headlines.
I'm Tracy Mumford.
Today's Friday, October 3rd.
Here's what we're covering.
In a confidential notice sent to Congress this week,
President Trump said he decided that the U.S. is in a formal armed conflict with drug cartels,
that he's designated as terrorist groups.
The Times obtained a copy of the notice,
which refers to suspected drug smugglers working for cartels as,
quote, unlawful combatants, as if they were soldiers on a battlefield.
The notice fills in some of the administration's rationale for why its recent strikes on boats from Venezuela were legal and not murder.
