On October 5, Trump himself confirmed the sinking of another ship traveling through the Caribbean and again suggested that His country could soon move its anti-drug operations from sea to land.
Two days before, The Pentagon had announced another military attack in the Caribbean against vessels that were supposedly transporting drugs.
The US president said that for 30 years efforts to stop drug trafficking were “ineffective” by the Coast Guard and that “never worked”for having acted in a “politically correct” way.
Trump has received criticism from Democratic senators in the Senate who warn about excessive use of military force without legislative authorization and adding that during the attacks the Administration has not reported the identity of any of the more than 20 people who died during these attacks.
The Republican president has not given details of timing or operations, but has decided to emphasize the supposed benefits of his attacks on boats in the Caribbean, saying that if you eliminate three drug traffickers, about 25,000 people will be saved.

Possible attack in Venezuela
The military deployment of the United States in Caribbean waters under the argument of combating drug trafficking has been criticized by the Maduro Government, which considers it a threat of a possible attack against Venezuela.
