The United States is repatriating two alleged drug traffickers to Colombia and Ecuador after military forces attacked their vessel in the Caribbean Sea on Thursday, President Donald Trump said.
Facing questions about the legality of the strikes, the Trump administration has sought to justify the killing of more than two dozen since the operations began last month by claiming the U.S. is in “armed conflict” with Latin American drug cartels that are linked to Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro’s effort to dispatch drugs and criminals to the U.S.
