Hegseth and later President Donald Trump posted video of the strike, which appeared to hit a small speedboat. “A boat loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE was stopped, early this morning off the Coast of Venezuela, from entering American Territory,” Trump declared. On Sept. 2, the military said it hit a boat, killing 11 on board who Trump claimed were members of Tren de Aragua. The Trump administration has placed a $50 million bounty on his head for his arrest. Hegseth defended the move as legal in his post, without offering details, and warned it could happen again.
