Tensions are rising after President Donald Trump defended the controversial Sept. 2 U.S. military strike on an alleged drug‑trafficking boat in the Caribbean Sea — an operation that killed survivors who were clinging to the vessel after the initial hit. Pressed by ABC News about accountability and the possibility of wrongdoing by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth or Adm. Mitch Bradley, Trump insisted the actions were justified, calling the situation “war” despite no congressional authorization. He said he’s willing to release whatever video footage the administration has of the second strike, while doubling down on claims that narcoterrorists are responsible for mass casualties in the U.S. Trump also signaled the possibility of expanding operations onto land, warning that further actions may be imminent.
