Washington:11 people have been killed in a US strike on a ship in the Southern Caribbean Sea. President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the US attacked a drug-carried ship, which had left from Venezuela and was running a train de Aragua gang.
The President said that 11 people were killed in this campaign.
Terrorists were smuggling illegal drugs
Trump said in a social media post, “The attack was carried out in the international maritime sector when the terrorists were smuggling illegal drugs towards America. No American force was damaged in this attack. He said that the thinking of bringing drugs in the US, please take it as a warning.”
Rubio told the campaign fatal attack
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier said on X that the ship was being operated by a “nominated narco-atanki organization”. He described the campaign as a “deadly attack”. Rubio spoke on the attack on Tuesday, just before that when he was about to leave for Mexico and Ecuador, where he is about to talk on drug cartel, security, tariffs and other issues. Recently, the US has announced a plan to increase the strength of its Navy in the maritime areas near Venezuela to deal with the dangers caused by Latin American drug cartel.
Venezuela deployed soldiers on the border
The US has so far not shown any plans for the ground attack of these thousands of deployed personnel. Nevertheless, the government of President Nicolas Maduro has deployed troops on the sea border of Venezuela and the border with Columbia and appealed to citizens to join militia. Maduro has claimed that the US is making false drug smuggling against him to remove them from power. He and his officials have repeatedly cited a United Nations report stating that only 5% of the cocaine produced in Colombia is tried to smuggle via Venezuela. Land -surrounded Bolivia and Colombia adjacent to the sea, the top cocaine producing countries in the world.
Drug trade increased in southern American country
According to the latest World Drug reports of the United Nations, many countries in South America such as Columbia, Ecuador and Peru seized more cocaine in 2022 than 2021, but the report does not show that role of Venezuela, as stated by the White House in recent months.
Why smuggling cocaine growing
According to the report, “The most impact of increase in cocaine smuggling has been seen in Ecuador, where in recent years there has been an increase in fatal violence related to local and international crime gangs of Mexico and Balcon countries.” “If my country was attacked by American forces posted in Caribbean, I will constitutionally declare the country as ‘armed republic’,” President of Venezuela told reporters on Monday.
