The White House said Monday it had dismissed an offer by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to engage in direct talks with President Trump aimed at deescalating a U.S. naval buildup near Venezuela’s coast. The brush-off came after Trump declared he had ordered the bombing of another vessel he alleged was trafficking drugs to the United States. Trump shared video on his social media site Truth Social of an apparent airstrike on a speedboat, writing in all caps, ”STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!” Trump did not specify where the bombing occurred, the name of the alleged terrorist organization involved, or who conducted the attack. The strikes appear to have occurred outside of any declared war zone, targeting civilians who posed no immediate threat. Legal experts say such extrajudicial killings violate both U.S. and international law and constitute war crimes.
