U.S. to Repatriate Survivors of Drug Sub Strike

President Donald Trump said two survivors of a U.S. strike on a suspected drug submersible in the Caribbean will be sent to Ecuador and Colombia, their home countries, for detention and prosecution. The military rescued them after Thursday’s attack, at least the sixth since early September; two others aboard were killed, Trump added. His confirmation brings the regional death toll from such operations to at least 29. Trump has defended the strikes as part of an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, invoking post‑9/11 legal authority and treating suspected traffickers as enemy fighters.
