Trump boasts he ordered another lethal strike on a cartel boat in international waters
September 15, 2025
Another strike has been carried out on a boat that President Donald Trump claims is an imminent threat to the United States.
On Truth Social, Trump announced, "This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the U.S."
Trump did not explain how they verified who was on the boat or what the boat was carrying.
Still, Trump claimed, "these extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests. The Strike resulted in 3 male terrorists killed in action."
He then issued a threat saying that anyone transporting drugs to the United States would become a victim of Trump's "hunting" efforts.
Trump then falsely claimed millions of Americans were being killed by the cartels. Last year, roughly 75,000 people died from drug overdoses.
The latest strike follows one earlier this month that resulted in the deaths of 11 people aboard a Venezuelan vessel that Trump also claimed was carrying large amounts of narcotics. The attack has led to questions from legal experts of whether the strike amounts to murder or a war crime.
