President Donald Trump has released a video on Saturday showcasing the U.S. military’s drone strike on a drug-smuggling submersible in the Caribbean. The operation, conducted on Thursday, was aimed at disrupting drug trafficking routes that have been a persistent challenge in the region.
Trump’s decision to publicize the strike is seen as an effort to bolster his administration’s stance on combating drug-related crime and securing national borders. The video, which he shared via his social media platform Truth Social, provides a visual account of the military operation, emphasizing the technological capabilities of the U.S. armed forces.
Analysts suggest that the release of the footage is part of a broader strategy to communicate the effectiveness of U.S. military interventions in the Caribbean, particularly in light of ongoing discussions about border security and drug cartel activities. The operation is believed to have targeted a vessel suspected of transporting narcotics from South America to the United States.
