President Donald Trump said US forces had attacked a boat carrying drugs to the United States Tuesday (Sept. 3), killing 11 "narcoterrorists" from a gang he alleged was controlled by leftist Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro. Trump posted a video online of an open-topped speedboat carrying a number of people traveling on a body of water before it exploded in a ball of flames.The move is a potentially significant escalation in the standoff between Caracas and Washington, after the United States deployed eight warships to Latin America in what it bills as a war on drug trafficking. Trump initially announced at the White House that US forces had "shot out a boat... a drug carrying boat, lots of drugs in that boat" without giving details. n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION2:22 US TOP DIPLOMAT VOWS TO UNLEASH “FULL MIGHT” ON VENEZUELA?4:42 US NAVY HOLDS DRILLS 500 MILES FROM VENEZUELA6:02 RUBIO HEADS TO MEXICO AS SHEINBAUM WARNS AGAINST “INTERVENTION”
