President Donald Trump has announced that the United States military conducted a “kinetic” strike on a small boat he accused of smuggling drugs out of Venezuela for the Tren de Aragua gang.
In a Tuesday post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump shared black-and-white aerial footage of the bombing, which reportedly killed 11 people.
“The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike,” Trump wrote.
“Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!”
