In a stunning revelation, President Donald Trump confirmed that the U.S. military destroyed a drug-smuggling submarine in the Caribbean, allegedly linked to cartels operating from Venezuela. Trump said the sub was “built to transport massive amounts of drugs” and dismissed claims it carried innocent civilians. The U.S. has also conducted multiple maritime strikes since September, targeting “narcoterrorist” networks. Trump admitted he authorized covert CIA operations inside Venezuela but refused to reveal their full scope. Caracas has accused Washington of plotting “CIA-led coups” to destabilize Latin America.
