The United States is taking action against an alleged drug ship again. People are also killed in this blow.
According to Defense Minister Pete Hegseth, four people were killed in a renewed blow of the US military. Hegseth, whom the US government has recently referred to as “Minister of War”, spoke of “Four Male Drug Derists” in his post on platform X.
The attack took place at the order of US President Donald Trump in the morning (local period) in international waters off the Venezuela coast. Hegseth claimed that the ship was loaded with a “considerable amount of drugs” and was on the way to the USA. He threatened with other blows as long as the US population was supplied with drugs.
According to Trump, US armed forces had presumably attacked boats loaded with drugs in the past few weeks. In the previous attacks, 17 people died, who all referred to Trump as “terrorists”. This caused a lot of criticism, also because the US government initially did not provide any information on which legal basis it acted.
The US government classifies the drug cartels or the alleged smugglers. According to information from the “New York Times”, this is about drug cartels that the US government has declared terrorist organizations under Trump.
