President Trump says there's been another U.S. strike against a suspected drug-runner from Venezuela.
Trump posted on Truth Social, "U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND strike against "positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels" from Venezuela in international waters.
He added, "The Strike resulted in three male terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this Strike."
Rhode Island Senior Senator Jack Reed is speaking out on the operation.
“President Trump’s actions are an outrageous violation of the law and a dangerous assault on our Constitution. No president can secretly wage war or carry out unjustified killings – that is authoritarianism, not democracy.
“These reckless, unauthorized operations not only put American lives at risk, they threaten to ignite a war with Venezuela that would drag our nation into a conflict we did not choose. The American people deserve to know what is being done in their name and why. Congress must demand answers, force transparency, and hold this administration accountable before it plunges us into another needless war.”
The first U.S. military strike earlier this month struck a Venezuelan drug boat in the southern Caribbean.
