Trump bombed a ship in international waters

US President Donald Trump has confirmed that the Pentagon carried out a strike against a ship suspected of belonging to a Venezuelan drug cartel, while it was in international waters in the southern Caribbean.

According to Trump, 11 people on board the ship, described by his administration as “a drug ship from Venezuela”, were killed in the strike in international waters.

The President himself then defended the attack, reports Reuters, claiming that he believed the ship was carrying drugs.

Donald Trump broke the news on Truth Social, releasing a declassified video of the attack by US forces.

Remember that, in an executive order signed last January, Trump officially classified drug cartels, including Tren de Aragua, the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG, as “foreign terrorist organizations” while the Pentagon promised further military action against them shortly.
