He wasn't quiet about it in the campaign. Presumably it was part of the package a plurality voted for.

  * Deploy all necessary military assets, including the U.S. Navy, to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels, to ensure they cannot use our region’s waters to traffic illicit drugs to the U.S.
From that it seems that embargos of Venezuela, El Salvador and Mexico are on the table.

Given that it’s a big continent you’ll have to embargo south or Central America. Maybe both. Easier to put a barrier around the us.

Trump wags the dog. He has to be vocal about it to get his supporters to agree with it. Otherwise they'd be asking why we're starting another approach foreign war.
