US President Donald Trump says US strikes another drug boat off Venezuela

US President Donald Trump said the US shot down another small boat accused of transporting drugs off the coast of Venezuela.

Mr. Trump said in a post on social media that six people on board were killed in the attack and no U.S. forces were harmed.

It is the fifth deadly attack in the Caribbean as the administration claims alleged drug traffickers are being treated as illegal combatants who must be responded to with military force.

Frustration with the administration on Capitol Hill is growing among members of both parties.

Some Republicans want more information from the White House about the legal justification and details of the attacks.

Democrats argue the attacks violate U.S. and international law.
