Trump hails dramatic video of US military wiping out ‘narcoterrorists’ on Venezuela drug boat

WASHINGTON, DC: President Donald Trump on Tuesday, September 2, posted a 30-second clip of the US Military Forces bombing a boat carrying “narcoterrorists” in international waters.

Trump shared the black-and-white footage on Truth Social, showing a speedboat gliding across the water before being destroyed in the strike. The president claimed the vessel was carrying 11 “terrorists” and was in international waters at the time of the attack.

Trump confirms no US Forces were harmed in this strike

Trump wrote on Truth Social, "Earlier this morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility."

"TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, s*x trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere," the POTUS added. He further mentioned, "The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No US Forces were harmed in this strike."

Trump concluded the post by writing, "Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!"

Meanwhile, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has yet to comment publicly on the bombing. The POTUS has accused the Venezuelan government of controlling Tren de Aragua, an international criminal organization that originated in the country.

Previously, Maduro was defiant after Trump deployed warships to the Caribbean, telling him that war would "stain your hands with blood."

On Tuesday, September 2, Trump also revealed details of the strike at a White House press conference. The POTUS said, "We just over the last few minutes shot out at a boat, a drug-carrying boat. These came out of Venezuela… we took it out."
