This afternoon, President Trump revealed that U.S. military forces carried out a lethal operation against a Venezuelan drug-trafficking vessel in the Southern Caribbean. The White House released video footage capturing the strike, which was shared by Trump on Truth Social.
In a statement, Trump claimed the mission targeted “Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists,” designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization linked to Nicolas Maduro. He stated the group was transporting illegal narcotics to the United States when U.S. forces intervened. The operation resulted in 11 fatalities among the traffickers, with no U.S. personnel harmed. Trump emphasized the strike as a warning to drug cartels, declaring it a decisive action against the “dangerous drug trade” that surpasses efforts by previous administrations.
The report was originally published by WLTReport, which collaborated on the update.
