The U.S. has attacked a ship apparently "loaded with drugs" from Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed on Tuesday that his country has fired on a "drug-laden" ship apparently coming from Venezuela, but has given no further details about this alleged military operation off the coast of South America.
"We destroyed a ship, a ship carrying drugs and a lot of drugs, and you'll see and read it. It happened a few moments ago," the president said in a speech at the White House.
Trump has praised the "incredible" Joint Chief of Staff, Dan Caine, and warned of the attack on the alleged Venezuelan ship.
The attack on this ship is part of the military deployment that Washington activated a few days ago against Venezuela in international waters, with the aim, they have reported, of combating the flow of narcotics in the area.
The deployment has been a harsh condemnation of Nicolas Maduro's administration, which has accused the US of trying to force a change of government in Caracas, and of Rubio himself promoting a military offensive against Venezuelan territory.
