U.S. forces have bombed another boat off the coast of Venezuela, killing four people. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth claimed the boat was transporting drugs, but offered no evidence. President Trump recently declared the U.S. to be in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, in a move to give the president extraordinary power to launch attacks in Latin America. On Sunday, Trump spoke at a celebration of the Navy’s 250th anniversary and threatened to begin launching attacks on Latin America.

President Donald Trump: “Well, they’re not coming in by sea anymore, so now we’ll have to start looking about the land, because they’ll be forced to go by land. And let me tell you right now: That’s not going to work out well for them, either.”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounced the U.S. attacks in Latin America.

President Gustavo Petro: “Why did they fire missiles? That’s called murder. And it’s the murder of young people who should have other opportunities, which we must give them.”
