Former President Donald Trump announced U.S. forces destroyed a “drug-carrying submarine” in the Caribbean,
saying the strike killed two suspected narco-terrorists and captured two others.
Trump called it “a major victory for the American people” and claimed it prevented thousands of overdoses.
Footage & Claims
Trump released aerial video showing a semi‑submersible hit by precision munitions.
“The United States military this week destroyed a very large drug-carrying submarine in the Caribbean,” he wrote. “This was a message,” he added.
Official Details
Pentagon sources described the action as part of a broader anti‑narcotics campaign and called it “a precision strike conducted in international waters with full legal authority.”
Officials say survivors are detained and providing intelligence.
Reactions & Debate
Supporters praised decisive action; critics warned military force risks regional destabilization.
As Rachel Stein noted, “quantifying overdose deaths prevented is nearly impossible.”
Trump framed the strike as proof the U.S. will “hunt [cartels], stop them, and destroy their operations wherever they hide — by land, air, or sea.”
