US President Donald Trump announced on Monday thatAmerican forces conducted a second strike against “extraordinarily violent drugtrafficking cartels and narcoterrorists” operating in international waters nearVenezuela.
Posting on Truth Social, Trump said the operationtargeted a vessel carrying narcotics bound for the US, killing three menidentified as traffickers. He vowed continued pressure on Latin Americancartels for their “DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES” on US communities.
The announcement came hours after Venezuelan PresidentNicolás Maduro accused Washington, in a press conference, of plotting “militaryaggression,” warning that Venezuela would respond under international law andnoting that diplomatic ties remain severed.
Tensions have spiked since August 2025, when Trumpdeployed naval forces to the Caribbean to counter transnational trafficking. OnSeptember 3, he revealed an earlier strike on a separate vessel allegedlytransporting members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, killing 11.
