Since last fall, the US government under President Donald Trump has repeatedly attacked boats suspected of being used by drug smugglers in the Caribbean and the Pacific. Washington cites the fact that drug cartels have been declared terrorist organizations by the US government as the legal basis for the attacks. Just a few days ago, there was an attack on a similar suspected drug smuggling boat in the region.
