The president of the United States, Donald Trump, said Tuesday that the armed forces of his country eliminated 11 members of the Aragua train during a “kinetic attack” against a boat that moved drugs in the Atlantic.
Trump posted a video of the South Command of the US Army in his social truth account where a boat is observed being monitored seconds before being eliminated with a missile.
The American president said that 11 “narcoterrorist” lost their lives in the attack and that were identified as members of the Aragua Train, an organization that was designated as a terrorist by its administration.
“They operate under the control of Nicolás Maduro (president of Venezuela), responsible for mass murders, drug trafficking, sex trafficking and acts of violence and terrorism in the United States,” Trump added in his statement.
An hour before confirming the death of the supposed drug traffickers, the Pentagon had confirmed to Efe that the attack was made in the South of the Caribbean against a drug ship that had left Venezuela and that it was being operated by narcoterroristas and the same information was published in the official account of the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
The US has deployed eight military ships with missiles and a nuclear propulsion submarine in Caribbean Sea areas close to the coast of Venezuela to combat drug trafficking that “pollute” the streets of the American country.
In response, the president of Venezuela warned yesterday that his country faces the one who considers the “greatest threat that has been seen” in America “in the last hundred years” and said that his nation would declare “in arms” if “it were attacked.”
