More deadly drug traffickers wiped off the map…
President Trump announced Monday that the U.S. military carried out a second strike against alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers in two weeks — telling reporters that “big bags of cocaine and fentanyl” were “spattered all over the ocean.”
Three “male terrorists” were killed in international waters, Trump posted on Truth Social.
“The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S.,” the president wrote. “These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests.”
Footage released by Trump showed a small boat idling in rough waters before erupting into flames after being struck by a U.S. missile.
Speaking in the Oval Office late Monday, Trump suggested future airstrikes could target Mexican cartels smuggling drugs over land, and dismissed any doubt about the identities of those killed.
Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, “showed me a little while ago the clip, but you could actually see it. But you don’t have to see it, because we have recorded proof and evidence. We know what time they were leaving, when they were leaving, what they had, and all of the other things that you’d like to have,” Trump told reporters.
