US EditionTrump says US struck another Venezuelan drug vessel, killing three
- On September 15, 2025, President Donald Trump announced that US forces had destroyed three Venezuelan boats allegedly carrying drug traffickers in Caribbean international waters.
- The administration linked these strikes to its broader campaign against narcotics smuggling and suggested plans for military actions targeting Latin American cartels moving drugs over land.
- Trump described the killed individuals as 'narco-terrorists,' posted videos of the attacks, and accused Venezuela's Maduro of directing drug and criminal flows to the US amid a large US naval build-up near the Caribbean.
- The Justice Department doubled the reward for information on Maduro's arrest to $50 million while Democrats criticized the strikes as unauthorized and warned they risk escalating conflict with Venezuela.
- These events have heightened tensions, with Maduro mobilizing reservists to defend against perceived invasions, and bipartisan congressional calls for clearer oversight of the administration's military actions.
