Live from NPR News, I'm Janine Herbst.
President Trump says he'll release video of the second U.S.
strike on an alleged drug boat off the coast of Venezuela.
The U.S.
strikes on a boat the White House says was carrying drugs has caused controversy after reports that there were survivors after the first strike and that those survivors were killed in a second strike.
President Trump said he would certainly release the video of the second strike but that he's not sure what the U.S.
government has on tape.
The president continues to justify the attacks saying that the boats the U.S.
has been attacking are filled with drugs headed for the U.S.
He claims that every boat the U.S.
destroys saves 25 thousand American lives, a number that experts say is substantially overstated.
He also said the U.S.
would soon be conducting strikes against Venezuelan drug traffickers on land.
