United States Democratic Congressman Gregory W Meeks is demanding answers from the Trump administration for the legal justification following the US Armed Forces’ strike on an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean Sea earlier this month.

“I am deeply concerned by the Trump administration’s shifting narratives, contradictory facts, and utter failure to provide a legal justification for this strike,” said Meeks, who represents New York’s 5th Congressional District in Queens.

The Ranking Member of the US House of Representatives’ Foreign Affairs Committee, said it is “unacceptable” that, a week after the strike, members of the Foreign Affairs Committee have yet to be briefed by the administration on this use of force, despite the Committee’s clear jurisdiction.
