US lawmakers call for release of Caribbean boat strike video

Lawmakers in the US are urging the release of a video showing a controversial double-tap strike on a drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, which resulted in the deaths of two survivors. Democrats question the legality of the strikes, while Republicans defend them. Calls for transparency and accountability have been made by both parties, with President Trump expressing willingness to release the footage. Legal experts argue that the strikes may constitute murder and extrajudicial killings, raising concerns about the legality of Washington’s anti-drug trafficking campaign.
