The American army kills 11 on strike on an alleged drug boat leaving Venezuela, said Trump

US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that the United States had made a military strike in the southern Caribbean against what he said to be a drug-carrying ship operated by the Gang of Tren of Aragua who left Venezuela.

The president declared in a truth on social social networks that 11 people had been killed in the military operation, and he published a video of a small ship seeming to explode in flames.

“The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters carrying illegal drugs, heading to the United States,” Trump said during the publication. “None of the US forces has been injured in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anyone even thinking of drugs in the United States of America.”

The video seems to show a long multi-motor boat traveling at sea when a light flash of light breaks out on the profession. The boat is then briefly seen covered with flames.

The video, which is largely in black and white, was not clear enough to see if the job was carrying up to 11 people or if there were medicines inside the boat.

The account of the White House on X also published an article on the strike, which also included the video.

The Trump administration has already blamed Gang

Tren de Aragua is from more than a decade ago in a sadly famous prison in the central state of Aragua in Venezuela.

The gang has widened in recent years while more than 7.7 million venezuelans have fled economic disorders and have migrated to other countries in Latin America or the United States

Trump and administration officials have repeatedly accused the gang of being behind violence and illicit drug trafficking that afflict certain American cities.

The White House did not immediately explain how the soldiers determined that those aboard the ship were members of Tren from Aragua.

The size of the gang is not clear, as is the extent to which its actions are coordinated through the state lines and the national borders.

The Venezuelan president refers to “imperialist threats”

After Trump announced the strike, Venezuelan state television showed that President Nicolás Maduro and First Lady Cilia Flores walking in the streets of her childhood neighborhood. A television presenter said Maduro “was bathed in patriotic love” while he was interacting with supporters.

“Faced with imperialist threats, God (east) with us,” Maduro told supporters.

Trump and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio had first announced the strike on Tuesday earlier, shortly before Rubio went on a trip to Mexico and the equator for drugs on drugs, security, prices and more.

In a brief exchange with journalists before leaving Miami for Mexico City, Rubio reported questions about the details of the pentagon shot. He said that drugs on the ship were probably heading for Trinidad or elsewhere in the Caribbean.

The United States has recently announced its intention to strengthen its maritime force in water off Venezuela to combat threats from Latin America’s drug cartels.

The United States has not pointed out any land incursion provided by the thousands of staff. However, the government of Maduro responded as a deployment of the troops along the coast and the border of Venezuela with neighboring Colombia, as well as exhorting the Venezuelans to enlist in a civil militia.

Maduro insisted that the United States is building a false drug trafficking story to try to force him out of power.

He and other representatives of the government have repeatedly cited a United Nations report which, according to the programs, are trying to move only five percent of the cocaine produced in Colombia by Venezuela.

Bolivia without coastal and Colombia, with access to the Pacific and the Caribbean, are the best cocaine producers in the world.

The latest UN world medication report shows that various countries in South America, including Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, pointed out more important cocaine crises in 2022 than in 2021, but it did not attribute the dedicated role of the White House to Venezuela in recent months.
