US to repatriate survivors of strike on 'drug-carrying submarine', Trump says

The U.S. has announced plans to repatriate the survivors of a recent strike on a suspected "drug-carrying submarine" off the coast of Venezuela. According to President Trump, this is at least the sixth such strike in the region in recent weeks, part of the U.S. government's ongoing efforts to curb drug trafficking. The strike, which occurred in international waters, resulted in the sinking of the vessel. While details remain limited, the U.S. claims the submarine was being used to transport narcotics. The repatriation of the survivors is seen as a humanitarian gesture, although the full circumstances surrounding the incident are still under investigation. This latest action underscores the U.S. administration's commitment to tackling the issue of drug trafficking, particularly in the waters off Venezuela. The increased naval activity in the region reflects the ongoing tensions between the U.S. and the Venezuelan government, as both sides seek to assert their influence and control over maritime operations.
