<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">President Donald Trump posted a video on Tuesday of a United States military strike against Tren de Aragua drug smugglers in the Caribbean Sea.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The strike took place in international waters and killed nearly a dozen terrorist cartel members carrying illicit drugs, Trump said. A video of the strike showed a small boat motoring through water before bursting into flame.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump posted on Truth Social.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere,” he added. “The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in International waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the United States.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” Trump concluded. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!!!!!”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The president </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/u-s-deploys-forces-to-take-on-latin-american-drug-cartels-in-the-southern-caribbean"><span style="font-weight: 400;">ordered</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> U.S. military assets to the south Caribbean off the coast of Venezuela last month to counter drug cartels, which his administration has classified as foreign terrorist organizations. The president has ratcheted up pressure on Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro, who the United States has targeted as a top cartel official.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In August, the United States </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-hikes-bounty-on-venezuelas-maduro-to-50m"><span style="font-weight: 400;">doubled</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> its bounty on information leading to Maduro’s arrest from $25 million to $50 million.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country. To date, the DEA has seized 30 tons of cocaine linked to Maduro and his associates with nearly seven tons linked to Maduro himself,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“The DOJ has seized over $700 million of Maduro-linked assets, including two private jets, nine vehicles, and more,” she added. “Yet, Maduro’s reign of terror continues. He is one of the largest narco traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security.”</span></p>
