In a series of recent airstrikes in the Caribbean, the US military has reportedly targeted boats suspected of drug trafficking, resulting in casualties and survivors for the first time. Official reports indicate that six alleged drug smugglers were killed in one of the strikes, which has raised concerns among lawmakers regarding the legality of these actions. Families in Trinidad have claimed that local fishermen were among the victims, while sources suggest that the strikes have led to speculation about broader geopolitical implications. The Trump administration has defended the military operations, framing them as part of a war on drugs aimed at combating the Maduro regime in Venezuela. However, critics question the effectiveness and legality of such tactics, expressing fears over rising tensions and humanitarian impacts in the region.
