‘They won’t be doing it again’ says Trump after airstrike on drug cartel boat
President Donald Trump has justified the lethal military strike that his administration said was carried out against a Venezuelan gang as a necessary effort by the United States to send an unmistakable message to Latin American cartels.
Asked why the military did not instead interdict the vessel and capture those on board, Mr Trump said the operation would cause drug smugglers to think twice about trying to move drugs into the US.
