Police in Trinidad and Tobago are investigating whether two citizens were among six people killed in a US strike on a boat allegedly transporting drugs from Venezuela.

Without providing evidence, Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the strike killed six “narcoterrorists” in international waters, allegedly transporting drugs from Venezuela to the United States.

Trinidadian police said residents of the village of Las Cuevas reported that the two citizens were on the sunken vessel, but could not confirm their deaths.

At least 27 people have been killed so far in such attacks off the coast of Venezuela, which the Trump administration says are necessary to protect the United States from smuggled narcotics from Venezuela.

If he starts a war on the people of Venezuela I hope all other nations pull their ambassadors and
stop all trade with the United States. Trump is a mad man.

Should already be shunning the US entirely and we should be holding a general strike. Shit would get straightened pretty fucking quick if both the international partners and We the People tell magats to go fuck off and learn how to fend for themselves with out any of us helping them to survive.
