President Donald Trump announced today a second attack against a Venezuelan vessel in the Caribbean for allegedly transporting illegal drugs. The news broke an hour after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said that the relationship between Caracas and Washington was "completely broken."

"This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

"These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests," Trump said. He added that three people had been killed during the strike.
