U.S. naval forces have conducted another lethal strike on a vessel President Donald Trump said was tied to a designated terrorist organization involved in drug trafficking in the Caribbean.

The strike marks the fourth such attack on a suspected drug-smuggling boat since the Trump administration launched a major military deployment in the region aimed at disrupting narcotics networks.

“On my orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account.

Trump said intelligence confirmed that the vessel was transporting narcotics along a known smuggling corridor used to funnel drugs into the United States. Three men aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, he said. No American personnel were injured.

They never show no evidence of any drugs or anything else. This is sickening and horrible.
