Trump’s stop at Treehouse Pub came after he addressed his supporters in Maquoketa and Dubuque, Iowa.
During his speech in Dubuque, he promised to deploy the United States Navy to impose a “full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our region.”
“I will deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full Fentanyl Blockade on the waters of our region—boarding and inspecting ships to look for fentanyl and fentanyl precursors,” Trump announced.
