US forces kill two in strike on alleged drug boat in the Pacific
US forces conducted a strike on an alleged drug boat in the Pacific Ocean, resulting in the deaths of two individuals. President Trump mentioned his legal authority to continue such actions, noting a potential expansion with Congressional approval. The strike, part of anti-drug operations, is the first in the Pacific and indicates a possible escalation in targeting drug-trafficking organizations. Trump and administration officials defend these strikes as counter-narcotics measures in the fight against drug trafficking.
