Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth previewed the possibility of additional strikes targeting drug cartels in bodies of water off the U.S. coastline.
U.S. forces carried out a strike on Tuesday morning against a vessel the president said was being operated by Tren de Aragua. The strike killed the 11 people on board. It was a dramatic escalation, but an expected one due to the military’s increased efforts to go after the cartels in Central and South America.
