This is War': Trump Dodges on Whether Hegseth Should Be Punished If He Ordered Survivors Killed
"I think you're going to find that this is war, that these people were killing our people by the millionsactually, if you look over a few years. I think last year we lost close to 300,000 people who were killed, Trump replied, adding: That's not mentioning all the families. Have you seen what happens with the families of not only the people killed, but the people that are trying to get their son or their daughter off of this poison that they've been fed?"
"And very soon we're going to start doing it on land too, because we know every route, we know every house, we know where they manufacture this crap, we know where they put it all together, and I think you're going to see it very soon on land also. I know I support the decision to knock out the boats and whoever is piloting those boats. But whoever are piloting those boats, they're guilty of trying to kill people in our country,"
President Donald Trump declined to answer whether Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or others should face punishment if survivors were killed after a strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat. Pete Hegseth faces growing criticism and impending Congressional investigations into whether his actions may constitute a war crime. Trump framed the situation as part of a broader war against drugs, cited high drug-related fatalities and family harm, and voiced support for disabling smuggling boats and their pilots. Trump also signaled plans to expand strikes onto land against production and distribution routes.
