President Donald Trump said the US military sank a third drug-running boat from Venezuela, urging Nicolas Maduro to "stop sending Tren de Aragua into the United States, stop sending drugs" and "stop sending people from your prisons."
Trump said 11 people were killed in the strike conducted in "international waters." Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the "lethal strike" as taking place in the "southern Caribbean" targeting "a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela."
