He claimed the vessel was "affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking" and that "three male narcoterrorists" were killed in the strike. No U.S. forces were harmed, Trunp noted. "Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics, and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans", Trump claimed."
""STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!", he stressed. The big picture: President Trump ordered seven warships carrying 4,500 personnel - including three guided-missile destroyers and at least one attack submarine - to the waters off Venezuela.
