President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the U.S. military struck another small boat off the coast of Venezuela, killing six people.
“Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking,” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Trump said intelligence confirmed that the vessel was trafficking narcotics and was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks.
