U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the administration fully backs military commanders after recent strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug-smuggling vessels. Speaking alongside President Donald Trump, Hegseth confirmed the U.S. has temporarily paused operations because drug boats are harder to locate — but insisted strikes will continue. Trump warned that any country trafficking illegal drugs into the U.S. is “subject to attack.”
