Trump says U.S. military has struck another alleged drug boat, killing 3
President Trump said Friday the U.S. military has carried out another “lethal kinetic strike” on a boat accused of carrying drugs — at least the third strike in recent weeks.
The president announced the move in a Truth Social post that included a video of a strike on a vessel. He said three “male narcoterrorists” were killed, and no Americans were harmed. Mr. Trump didn’t specify where the boat was located, but he said it was in the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility, which includes the Caribbean Sea and South America.
“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans,” he wrote. “STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!”
