The Trump administration has intensified military action in the Caribbean and Pacific, announcing its 16th strike on an alleged drug boat, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. This latest incident is part of a broader campaign that has seen a total of 67 casualties from U.S. strikes on alleged drug trafficking vessels. Bipartisan lawmakers are raising questions regarding the legality of these actions, particularly as the Pentagon admits uncertainty over who is being targeted in these operations. Critics, including the UN human rights chief, argue that these strikes may violate international law, with experts cautioning that they could constitute war crimes. Amidst this escalation, some GOP lawmakers defend the strikes, while others, including top Democratic senators, demand clarification on the legality of the military intervention. As tensions grow, questions linger about the objectives of such operations and their implications for U.S. military strategy in Latin America.
