Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said he directed a military strike on another vessel ferrying drugs from Venezuela, killing four, as the Trump administration presses ahead with a strategy to target narco-traffickers it calls unlawful combatants at war with the US.
“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,” Hegseth said Friday. “These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!”
