Trump says that 11 were killed in the United States on a drug -carrying ship from Venezuela

President Donald Trump says that the United States carried out a strike against a drug ship in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 “drugs”.

It was published on social media that the US military operation on Tuesday targeted the members of the Venezuelan gang, Trine de Aragoa.

Trump said the ship was in international waters and was transporting illegal drugs to the United States.

The Trump administration has raised military and political pressure against Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro in recent weeks, including a $ 50 million bonus (37 million pounds) to obtain information that leads to his arrest for drug tracking. Maduro Vinzuela has pledged to fight any American military intervention.

Speaking to reporters at the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said that the American forces “fired” a “car carrying” boat near Venezuela.

“Many drugs in this boat,” he said.

Trump added that he was informed of the accident by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Dan Kane.

Later, the president posted on the social truth platform: “Earlier this morning, based on my orders, the US military forces conducted a kinetic blow against drug sinners, Treen de Aragua in the southern responsibility area.”

He added: “The strike has killed 11 terrorists at work. No American forces did not harm this strike. Please leave this as a notification of anyone until he considers to bring drugs to the United States of America. Beware!”

His publication was accompanied by a likable air clip showing a motor boat that speeds up volatile water before it exploded in the fire.

In a post on social media, the Minister of Communications in Venezuela, Freddy Aniz, suggested that the video that Trump shared was created artificial intelligence.

Reuters news agency wrote that the initial checks on the video did not reveal any signs of manipulation, but their verification process was continuing.

“Today, the US military had a fatal blow in the southern Caribbean area against the drug ship that left from Venezuela and was operated by an organization designated for Narko cars,” Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said in a position on X.

It is not yet clear what drugs he believed was carrying.

Since his return to the White House in January, Trump has appointed many of the organizations that follow drugs and criminal groups in Mexico and other places in Latin America as terrorist organizations.

He used criminality allegations as a justification for the deportation of Venezuelan. However, he was hit late on Tuesday when a US Court of Appeal ruled that he could not call a wartime law in the eighteenth century to accelerate this removal.

In addition to Tren De Aragua, Trump took the goal of Cartel Senz – a group that the United States claimed headed by Maduro and other high -level Venezuelan officials, some of which are derived from military services or intelligence in the country.

The US military has moved to support its forces in the southern Caribbean over the past two months, including by deploying additional naval ships and thousands of naval infantry and American sailors.

The Trump administration has repeatedly indicated a willingness to use force to stop the flow of medicines to the United States. “There is more where that came,” Trump said of the strike on the ship.

The Venezuela government has angrily interacted with the publication.

On Monday, for example, Maduro pledged to “declare a republic in weapons” if the United States attacked, adding that the American publishing operations were “the biggest threat seen in our continent in the past percent.”

In respect of at least one, Trump has taken a softer position towards Venezuela – by allowing the American Chevron to work in the country in partnership with the country’s PDVSA oil company in the country.
