US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said today that stopping ships carrying drugs to the US did not work, but blowing them up did.
The top US diplomat, speaking in Mexico City, signaled that the administration will continue to take military action to stop suspected drug shipments.
Rubio's comments come after the US military fatally shot down a suspected drug ship, which was reportedly linked to the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua. The attack was a significant and seemingly unprecedented escalation.
The top American diplomat said the United States has long had intelligence that allows them to intervene and stop drug ships.
"We did that. And it didn't work. What's going to stop them is when you blow them up, when you eliminate them. The same information and the same intelligence mechanism, perhaps with a higher focus, was used to determine that a drug ship was headed, ultimately, to the United States, and instead of stopping it, on the orders of the president, we blew it up. And it's going to happen again. The president of the United States is going to declare war on narco-terrorist organizations," Rubio said at a press conference.
