FISHERMEN on Trinidad and Tobago's north-west coast say they are unbothered by the recent US strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean Sea. However, they are worried about what would happen if a war were to break out between the US and Venezuela.
On September 2, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced via X (formerly Twitter) that his country had “conducted a lethal strike” on a vessel that had earlier departed from Venezuela and was allegedly being operated by a “narco-terrorist organization.” US president Donald Trump later said 11 were killed.
The strike is the first by the military convoy of warships and a nuclear submarine the US sent to the southern Caribbean region in August to fight drug cartels.
