President Trump announces US will repatriate survivors of strike on 'drug-carrying submarine' back to Ecuador and Colombia. The attack marks the sixth US strike on ships in the Caribbean Sea, aimed at curbing drug trafficking from Latin America. Two survivors were rescued by a US military helicopter, and Trump defends the attack as a move to stem the flow of illegal narcotics into the US amid escalating tensions with Venezuela.
