Donald Trump released a new video on Truth Social on Friday about a US strike that he said killed three "narco-terrorists" aboard a speedboat carrying drugs destined for the US market.
The US president has already referred in recent weeks to at least three attacks on ships he said belonged to drug traffickers. The first, on September 2, resulted in the deaths, he said, of 11 people in the Caribbean.
The US deployed military assets there in the name of fighting drug trafficking, and a second strike, a few days later, killed another "three narco-terrorists" from Venezuela, according to Trump.
On Tuesday, the Republican referred to a third ship being eliminated, but without providing details or releasing video of the attack.
The US armed forces launched an attack against "a vessel affiliated with a terrorist organization," the US president wrote yesterday, without clarifying where it happened or mentioning Venezuela, as in the previous two cases.
"Intelligence agencies confirmed that the ship was carrying drugs and was sailing along a known drug trafficking corridor, en route to poison Americans," the president continued, adding that it was "in international waters."
Claiming to want to crack down on drug cartels, Washington has sent seven warships and a submarine to the Caribbean, another warship to the Pacific, fighter jets and transport planes to Puerto Rico...
The US government accuses Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro of being the head of a drug trafficking ring, the “Cartel of the Suns,” but the very existence of such an organization is the subject of counter-accusations. In the summer, the US doubled the reward it is offering for information leading to his arrest to $50 million.
President Maduro, for his part, denounces an "imperialist plan for regime change to impose a puppet government controlled by the US" in the oil-producing Latin American state.
