U.S. Military Strikes Venezuelan Drug Boat Amid Growing Tensions

In a controversial move, the Trump administration has conducted a military strike on a boat allegedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang off the coast of Venezuela, resulting in the deaths of 11 individuals. The strike has raised significant legal and ethical questions, with critics claiming it violates international laws and constitutes an act of war. Trump officials abruptly canceled a briefing about the incident, drawing further scrutiny. As the U.S. ramps up pressure on President Maduro, sources indicate that this strike is part of a broader campaign targeting drug cartels in Venezuela. The Pentagon has defended the operation, while lawmakers and experts express concerns over its legality and potential escalation of conflict in the region. The strike reflects a growing trend of U.S. military involvement in drug enforcement and raises fears about the implications of such actions for international relations.
