President Trump launches a fresh assault on a vessel, targeting "drug-trafficking extremists"
In a recent development, President Donald Trump ordered a strike on a vessel linked to a designated terrorist organization involved in drug trafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The White House reported the strike, which took place in international waters, and resulted in the destruction of the second Venezuelan vessel carrying drugs this month.
According to reports from rbc.group, the target of the strike was the Tren de Aragua drug cartel, a group that Washington designated as a terrorist organization. Eleven members of this cartel were killed in the strike, while three individuals identified as "narco-terrorists" on board were also reported to have been killed.
The U.S. secretly signed a directive for the Pentagon to use military force against Latin American drug cartels, as reported by The New York Times. This move follows the U.S. sending seven ships to Venezuelan waters in August, and the subsequent military threats accused by President Nicolás Maduro of the Bolivarian Republic.
The Tren de Aragua drug cartel has been under scrutiny for its involvement in drug trafficking activities. However, the article does not provide any information about the specific terrorist organization involved in the drug trafficking or the location of the strike.
It is important to note that no military personnel were harmed during the strike, and no information was provided to suggest that the video of the boat used in Trump's statement was created by AI.
This latest incident underscores the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela, and the efforts being made by the U.S. to combat drug trafficking in the region. As the situation continues to evolve, it is crucial to maintain a clear understanding of the facts and the implications of these actions.
