The U.S. military destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat in the Caribbean Sea. President Trump announced the strike, stating it happened moments before. Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed a "lethal strike" against a vessel operated by a narco-terrorist organization. This action follows increased U.S. naval presence near Venezuela due to accusations of Venezuelan government collaboration with drug cartels. While details remain limited, the U.S. insists its actions target cartels, not the Venezuelan government itself. Tensions between the U.S. and Venezuela remain high.
