The U.S.
has launched a military strike against a boat in the Caribbean, killing 11 people on board.
So starting on September 2nd,
the United States started striking boats in international waters as they were leaving Venezuela.
The president says the boat was part of a cartel operation,
carrying drugs from Venezuela and heading right towards the U.S.
The way the United States justified it is that they said these are narco terrorists that pose a threat to the United States.
And the way to combat the fentanyl overdose problem in the United States is to take out the source of it,
which is these boats.
This is Atlantic staff writer Nancy Yousef, who covers national security.
The problem is we don't know who are on these boats,
why these boats versus others are being targeted, what was on those boats.
In addition, fentanyl doesn't come from that part of the Caribbean.
We want to keep fentanyl out of the United States.
And I don't know how widely known this is,
but those routes through the Caribbean are predominantly used to bring cocaine to Europe.
