On December 7, 2025, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth defended a U.S. military strike on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean, which killed survivors in a follow-up attack.
The September incident, linked to President Trump’s claims that Venezuela’s Maduro leads a “narcoterrorist” network, has sparked congressional debate over whether the second strike amounted to a war crime.
Hegseth denied ordering the killing of survivors, but conflicting accounts from the White House have raised questions about accountability.
