US EditionTrump says US strikes another boat accused of carrying drugs in waters off Venezuela, killing 6
- On Tuesday, United States President Donald Trump said U.S. forces struck a small boat in international waters off the coast of Venezuela, killing six people and confirming the vessel trafficked narcotics.
- Officials say the strikes respond to the Trump administration's view that alleged traffickers are unlawful combatants, as outlined in a memo to Congress.
- At least 27 people have been killed so far in the campaign, but lawmakers say the administration has not provided evidence that the targeted boats carried narcotics.
- Frustration on Capitol Hill has increased as some Republicans seek more information from the White House, while Democrats say the strikes violate U.S. and international law; the Senate last week failed a war powers resolution.
- U.S. maritime forces have operated in the Caribbean since September 2, and Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino last week called the accusations false and warned of possible escalation.
