The United States “conducted a lethal strike” on a boat believed to be a “drug vessel” that traveled across the southern Caribbean.
According to Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the latest attack against drug cartels was by the Trump administration. Cartels are considered to be foreign terrorist organizations.
On X, Rubio shared, “As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.”
Speaking to the media, Trump stated the US military “just over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug carrying boat.”
