Trump official admits ‘many’ targeted drug boats lacked capacity to even reach US

senior U.S. official admitted that many of the sea vessels targeted by the Trump administration suspected of drug trafficking did not have the motor capacity or necessary gasoline to reach the United States, according to a report from Drop Site News.

The Trump administration has ramped up hostilities with Venezuela in recent weeks, deploying an aircraft carrier strike group to the Caribbean last week, and destroying at least 10 suspected drug-carrying sea vessels since September, killing at least 43 people that the administration has labeled as “narco-terrorists.” The Trump administration’s rationale for the targeted strikes – which have received bipartisan condemnation as “extrajudicial killings” – has been to combat drug trafficking it says is orchestrated, in part, by Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

However, according to a senior U.S. official who spoke with Drop Site News on the condition of anonymity, a significant number of the vessels that were destroyed lacked the capacity to even reach U.S. waters. Furthermore, the same official told the outlet that the Trump administration’s purported rationale for the strikes – to curb the trafficking of fentanyl – was also not supported by U.S. intelligence.
