0:34Now PlayingThe US military struck a suspected drug-trafficking boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Tuesday, expanding an aggressive campaign of airstrikes that so far had been limited to the Caribbean Sea.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the strike in a social media post Wednesday, saying two people were killed. “Narco-terrorists intending to bring poison to our shores, will find no safe harbor anywhere in our hemisphere,” Hegseth wrote.
President Donald Trump has pushed more aggressive military action against Latin American drug cartels, declaring the US was now engaged in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug-traffickers. A Senate aide, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations, said Congress was notified of the strike, but said the administration had not provided further information.
