Three dead as Trump orders US military strike on Venezuelan drug boat | US | News

President Donald Trump said that US military forces carried out another strike to a boat allegedly carrying drugs from Venezuela, causing the death of three men.

Trump announced that the strike took place on Monday, claiming that the US was just 11 lives only two weeks after a previous military attack on a Venezuela -carrying ship.

“This morning, the US military forces, Southcom, has a second kinetic strike against extraordinary violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterors, defined as positive in the field of responsibility.” The news comes as the United States and Britain prepare to sign a large nuclear energy agreement during Donald Trump’s state visit.

“The strike occurred while these narcoterists from Venezuela were in international waters moved to the United States (a deadly weapon poisoning!).

The President issued a harsh warning to the cartels and said that American forces would continue to target human traders whom he saw as a threat to national security. Reflect us.

“The illegal activities of these cartels have killed millions of American citizens and had devastating consequences on American communities for decades.”

Trump shared the images of the strike depicting that the boat exploded into the flames after targeting.

Two weeks ago, the first strike received criticism from several senators questioning legality. The Trump administration claimed that the ship was carrying Aragua gang members in the train.

In a strong letter to the White House, Senator Tim Kaine and other democratic senators criticized the Trump administration for the attack for “legitimate legal justification”.

“Our armed forces are not law enforcement officers,” said Senator Jack Reed from Rhode Island last week.

The Trump administration defended his actions, claiming to defend himself as a legal justification for strike. The train de Aragua officially labeled by the US as a terrorist organization.
