US military strikes suspected drug vessels in the eastern Pacific ocean • FRANCE 24 English
The US military killed five alleged drug smugglers in strikes against two vessels in the eastern Pacific Ocean, US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said on Wednesday, in an expansion of the Trump administration’s use of the armed forces in its counter-narcotics campaign. On Wednesday afternoon, Hegseth said the military attacked a vessel in the eastern Pacific Ocean and killed two men on Tuesday. It was the first known US military operation in the Pacific since President Donald Trump kicked off a new offensive against the drug trade. France24 International Affairs Editor Andrew Hilliar gives his insights.
