The Trump administration is now blowing drug-carrying boats out of the water!
From the New York Post: President Trump dramatically revealed Tuesday that the US military had “shot out” a “drug-carrying boat” from Venezuela — days after deploying warships to the coast of the South American country.
“We just over the last few minutes, literally, shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat — a lot of drugs in that boat,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, adding that he had just been briefed on the mission by Gen. Dan “Raisin” Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
“We have a lot of drugs pouring into our country — coming in for a long time, and this came out of Venezuela, and coming out very heavily from Venezuela. Lot of things are coming out of Venezuela. We took it out,” Trump added.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio then confirmed in a post on X, “As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Carribean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.”

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wants to raise the bounty to $100 million.
Maduro and his thugs’ threats are yet another reason why we must pass my STOP MADURO Act and raise his bounty to $100,000,000 ASAP. https://t.co/rb2WMJiXgI pic.twitter.com/az8f93X3ZO
