United States President Donald Trump announced yesterday that a second vessel leaving Venezuela was targeted and struck by the US military, killing at least three on board.

On his Truth Social platform, Trump said the strike had occurred in international waters and claimed that the persons killed were confirmed ‘narco-terrorists’, who had been transporting illegal narcotics headed to the US.

“These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels pose a threat to US national security, foreign policy, and vital US interests,” he wrote.
