US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Thursday announced another deadly US strike on a boat he said was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean Sea.
The attack on Thursday killed three people, Hegseth said, bringing the death count from the Trump administration’s campaign in South American waters up to 69 in at least 17 strikes.
Hegseth posted a 20-second video of the strike on social media and wrote, “As we’ve said before, vessel strikes on narco-terrorists will continue until their … poisoning of the American people stops.”
