Comments come days after the US forces strike a boat in the Caribbean Sea. The White House says he killed 11 drug traffic, although he did not release his identities.
When asked if the smugglers from allies such as Mexico and Ecuador can encounter “one -sided execution” from the US forces, Rubio “cooperative governments” would help identify smugglers.
“The president said he wanted to fight for these groups because he has been fighting for 30 years and no one answered.
“But in many cases there is no need to do this with friendly governments, because friendly governments will help us.”
Ecuador and Mexican governments did not say they would help military strikes.
Following a strike on the ship in the Southern Caribbean on Tuesday, President Donald Trump said that the military operation was carrying illegal narcotics to the United States, while the Venezuelan gang train aims for the Aragua members.

Violence in Ecuador has recently increased as criminal gangs to control profitable cocaine paths
According to government data, approximately 70% of the world cocaine are now passing by Ecuador in the transition from neighboring countries such as Colombia and Peru to the markets in the USA, Europe and Asia.
This appointment was desirable by the President of Ecuador Daniel Noboa, who described his stuck on the crime gangs as “war”.
In an interview with the BBC earlier this year, he said that if he saw the US Los Lobos and Los Choneros as terrorist groups, he would be “happy” because “this is really”.
He also said he wanted the US and European armies to participate in the war.
After Noboa was closed in 2009, Noboa is trying to change the Ecuador Constitution to allow foreign military bases in the country.
The appointment means that the United States can target everyone associated with groups and share intelligence without limiting the Ecuador government, so it can take “potentially fatal” actions.
The rising Cartel violence in Ecuador became a driver behind the migration from the South American country to the United States.
According to immigration law experts, it is unclear whether the determination of cartels as terrorist organizations can help or prevent victims of asylum seekers in the United States.
On the one hand, they may now mean that they are considered as victims of “terrorism”, but on the other hand, they are afraid that those who have to pay usurp to the gangs can be punished for ‘financially support’.
