Update: 2025-12-02
Description
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth defends aggressive anti-drug operations in the Caribbean and Pacific, resulting in over eighty deaths. Critics argue these actions are extrajudicial killings, but Hegseth maintains theyre necessary to combat narco-terrorists. The Trump administration faces criticism over a second attack on a suspected drug boat, with some lawmakers suggesting it could be a war crime. Hegseth clarifies he didnt see survivors and left before the decision for a second attack was made. The Pentagon insists these attacks are legal under U.S. and international law, while Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro accuses Washington of using drug trafficking as a pretext to overthrow him.
