President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that the U.S. had carried out a strike against a speedboat said to be carrying narcotics in the southern Caribbean.  

“Earlier this morning, on my orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.  

Trump has designated Tren de Aragua, a criminal organization founded in Venezuela’s prisons, as a Foreign Terrorist Organization.  

Video of the strike, shared on social media, shows a speedboat gliding through the water before bursting into flames.
