This comes as the US military also conducted a deadly strike in the Pacific against an alleged drug boat. Trump indicated that the US operations might expand further into land strikes against drug smuggling operations, despite Caracas denying involvement in drug trafficking. The US Southern Command labeled the latest victims as “narco-terrorists,” amidst a significant military buildup in the region.
