US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US military carried out another strike on what it said was a drug boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing all four people on board.
The strike came a day after hegseth said the US carried out three strikes in the same region on Monday, killing 14 people, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration, as the Trump administration pursues its campaign that divides South Americans.
Hegseth, who had previously traveled to Japan and Malaysia, said in a social media post that intelligence had been determined to “convey a known method of narco-trafficking, as well as carrying narcotics.” He said the strike was carried out in international waters and no US forces were injured.
A video posted by Hegseth shows the boat bursting into flames and smoke.
US President Donald Trump says he is ending aid to Colombia after the country’s President, Gustavo Petro, accused a ‘small boat in Colombian waters in September. The US said the boat was a drug vessel, but Peterro said the fisherman killed on board had no ties to the drug trade.
The Trump administration has been conducting a two-month campaign in the region, while making large-scale military operations involving marches and aircraft. Their presence has fueled speculation that the movement is aimed at ousting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, whom the US has accused of narcoterrorism.
Experts are also questioning the unity of the strikes, which have now killed at least 61 people.
US President Donald Trump has prepared these attacks on boats as a necessary condition for the flow of drugs in the United States.
He also said that the US has “decorated” conflicts with drug cartels, which rely on the same legal authority used by the authorities in the so-called war on terror after September 11, 2001.
But as the number of strikes has grown, the debate in Congress has increased about limiting the power of the President. The attack is taking place without a legal investigation or a traditional declaration of war from Congress, and lawmakers, including some Republicans, have raised questions about the lack of hard evidence to justify the killings.
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he has authorized the CIA to carry out covert operations in Venezuela, increasing efforts to suppress the government of President Nicolas Maduro. Trump said he authorized the action because large amounts of drugs were entering the United States from Venezuela, mostly by sea. Venezuela’s foreign ministry condemned the move in a statement, saying the action ‘constitutes a further violation of international law and the United Nations’ Charter. ‘
The Trump administration has shown no evidence to support its claims about the boats that were attacked, their links to cartels, or even the identities of the people killed in the strikes.
The strike announced by Hegseth on Wednesday the 14th, as the campaign began.
