US continues strikes on drug smuggling boats
...
In a bold display of American resolve, President Donald Trump ordered the destruction of another suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean on Friday morning, obliterating a vessel laden with poisons destined for U.S. streets and sending a clear message to transnational criminals preying on American families.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth released footage of the precision hit on the “narco-terrorists,” affirming U.S. intelligence’s ironclad verification of the threat.
This marks the fourth such operation under Trump’s command.
“Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation. The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics – headed to America to poison our people,” said Hegseth.
“Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route. These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!”
With 21 suspected traffickers neutralized across these actions, Trump’s strategy is delivering results, protecting communities from the overdose epidemic that claims thousands of American lives yearly.

A White House spokeswoman told The New York Times that “the president acted in line with the law of armed conflict to protect our country from those trying to bring deadly poison to our shores, and he is delivering on his promise to take on the cartels and eliminate these national security threats from murdering more Americans.”

So far, the US has just attacked the drug-smuggling boats. At some point, the US could attack the drug smugglers inside Venezuela and their government supporters.
