US President Donald Trump announced a new military strike on a boat carrying alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean on Monday, saying three “narcoterrorists” from Venezuela were killed.

“This morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists,” Trump said on his Truth Social network.

In an initial strike on September 3, Trump said 11 people were killed on another boat allegedly used by drug traffickers, prompting concerns about whether Washington had breached international law. (AFP)
