“Both attacks were carried out in international waters and three narco-terrorists were aboard each vessel. All six died,” Hegseth reported, adding that there were no injuries among the US troops.
With these two new attacks, There are already more than 70 deaths and a score of vessels destroyed as part of the campaign against drug trafficking that President Trump’s Administration has been carrying out since September in Caribbean waters, later expanded to the Pacific.
In what specialists consider to be its largest maritime deployment since the first Persian Gulf War (1990-1991), the US maintains in Caribbean waters about eight warships – including six destroyers -, three amphibious ships and a submarine in the area.
The operation, which has provoked the rejection of the governments of Venezuela and Colombiawhich Washington accuses of being involved in drug trafficking networks, also includes the shipment of the Gerald R. Ford nuclear aircraft carrier, the largest and most modern in the US fleet, already on its way to the Caribbean.
A Democratic initiative in the US Senate to restrict Trump’s military campaign in international waters failed last week with 49 votes in favor and 51 against, the latter cast by the Republican caucus, which managed to stop the opposition’s symbolic attempt to reduce the attacks.
“Under President Trump’s mandate, we are protecting the homeland and eliminating these drug trafficking terrorists who intend to harm our country and its people,” Hegseth defended this Monday.
