Hegseth warns additional strikes on drug cartels could come after 11 killed

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth previewed the possibility of additional strikes targeting drug cartels in bodies of water off the U.S. coastline.

U.S. forces carried out a strike on Tuesday morning against a vessel the president said was being operated by Tren de Aragua. The strike killed the 11 people on board. It was a dramatic escalation, but an expected one due to the military’s increased efforts to go after the cartels in Central and South America.
