US Airstrike Near Venezuela May Have Killed Trinidad Citizens: Police Say, Sparking Outrage
Reports indicate that two Trinidadian men may be among the six individuals killed in a recent US airstrike on a boat suspected of drug trafficking off the coast of Venezuela. While former US President Donald Trump claimed the strike targeted “narcoterrorists,” Trinidadian officials are still working to confirm the identities of the deceased. Family members of the two alleged victims have denied their involvement in drug activity and criticized the use of deadly force. This event has raised concerns among some Caribbean leaders about the increasing US military presence and its impact on regional peace and security, prompting responses such as military exercises from the Venezuelan government.
