Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has just announced that the US military has destroyed a narco-terrorist drug boat in the Eastern Pacific, marking the first time they’ve targeted narco-trafficking in the Pacific.
Here’s what Hegseth wrote:
Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel being operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization and conducting narco-trafficking in the Eastern Pacific.
The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics. There were two narco-terrorists aboard the vessel during the strike, which was conducted in international waters. Both terrorists were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in this strike.
Narco-terrorists intending to bring poison to our shores, will find no safe harbor anywhere in our hemisphere. Just as Al Qaeda waged war on our homeland, these cartels are waging war on our border and our people. There will be no refuge or forgiveness—only justice.

This is what I voted for, and I love that Trump is making these narco-terrorists pay a big price for drug trafficking.
