In a stunning announcement, President Donald Trump revealed that U.S. forces carried out a lethal strike against a Venezuelan drug cartel vessel operating in the Caribbean Sea. The vessel, believed to be carrying tons of narcotics, was intercepted and destroyed after an intense operation involving American naval assets.
Trump emphasized that the strike was part of his administration’s ongoing effort to dismantle international drug trafficking networks. According to military sources, the cartel vessel attempted to evade but was tracked and neutralized in what officials are calling a “textbook precision operation.”
The President shared the news with his followers, highlighting that America will not tolerate the flow of drugs into the homeland. “The cartels have been put on notice,” Trump stated. “We will hunt them down wherever they hide.”
