Secretary of War Pete Hegseth insisted the US strikes on boats in the Caribbean are “lawful under both US and international law,” saying the strikes are intended to “stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people.”
"Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization," Hegseth claimed.
The US military conducted a follow-up strike on a boat in the Caribbean that it believed to be ferrying drugs, killing survivors of an initial missile attack, US media reported Friday.
Prior to the operation, the troops had been given a directive from US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to kill everyone on board, the Washington Post and CNN both reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the operation.
