“The Western Hemisphere is no longer a safe haven for narcoterrorists who bring drugs to our shores to poison Americans. The War Department will continue to seek them out and eliminate them wherever they operate,” he concludes.
With this new attack they are already fifteen boats destroyed by US forces in twelve attacks carried out in international waters, half of them in the Pacific. In total, these bombings against boats They have claimed the lives of 61 people.
The US links the vessels to drug trafficking activities, since the beginning of the Southern Command military campaign that initially focused on the Caribbean, near Venezuelan waters.
The Donald Trump Administration escalated its offensive against Latin American cartels that it considers terrorists and to whom it has declared a “direct armed conflict” that justifies its military actions in international waters.
The increase in tensions began in August with the deployment of US Army ships in the Caribbean and with Venezuela in the spotlight with a first attack on September 2, but it has already spread to Pacific waters involving Colombia.
Last week, Trump assured that he does not rule out attacks on ground targets in Venezuela and Colombia, always related to drug trafficking, and added that if these maneuvers are carried out, he will notify Congress.
Both the Government of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela like that of Gustavo Petro in Colombia, both accused by Trump of being drug traffickers, have denounced the attacks on the boats as murders and extrajudicial executions. Dozens of NGOs, such as Amnesty International, have also questioned the United States’ actions for violating international law.
