Wicker now on board with Trump administration's operations in Caribbean: 'I am satisfied'

Sen. Roger Wicker (R-MS), the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is “satisfied” with the briefings he’s received from the Pentagon regarding the boat strike operations and has come to the conclusion that the military has not carried out war crimes.

The U.S. military has carried out lethal strikes on 26 purported drug boats in the Caribbean Sea or Eastern Pacific Ocean, killing 99 people since the start of September, including multiple this week. This more aggressive approach to stopping the illicit drug trade has been met with legal questions and bipartisan skepticism on Capitol Hill.
