US Lawmakers Back Review of Strikes on Alleged Drug Trafficking – Nationwide
Lawmakers from both parties said on Sunday that they support a review of our military in the US military that is dealing with drugs suspected of drug trafficking in all the crew members killed as part of Sepre. 2 Attack.
Lawmakers say they don’t know whether the report of Washington who was in Washington ended, and some Republicans were skeptical, but they say attacking the survivors of the first strike sets tough legal standards.
“This rises to the level of war crimes if true,” said Sen. Tim Kaine, D-VA.
REP. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, when asked about the strike targeting civilians who are still able to fight, said Congress does not have information about what happened. He noted that leaders of the armed services committee in both the House and Senate have opened an investigation.
“Obviously, if that happens, that would be very bad and I agree that would be illegal,” Therter said.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump on Sunday evening while flying to Washington from Florida, where he celebrated thanksgiving, confirmed that he had just spoken with the President of Venezuela Nicolás Maduro.
US officials say the strikes in the Caribbean are targeting cartels, some of which are controlled by Maduro. Trump is also weighing whether to carry out strikes on the country of Venezuela.
Trump declined to comment on the details of the call, which was first reported by The New York Times.

“I wouldn’t say it went well or badly,” Trump told reporters at Anger Force, when asked by phone.
Venezuela’s communications service did not immediately respond to a request for comment in a phone call with Trump.
Turter said that there is concern in Congress about the alleged attacks by the Trump Administrations who transport drugs, but the allegations related to September are almost outside of Congress and there is an ongoing investigation. “
The comments of the legislators during the appearance of the news comes as the administration increases the campaign against drug trafficking in the US on Saturday, Trunk Venezuela should be considered as relying more on the pressure of the US on Maduro. Maduro’s government accuses Trump of making a “colonial threat” and seeking to undermine the South American country’s sovereignty.
After the Post’s report, Hegseth said Friday on X “Fake news is bringing fabricated, inflammatory and disrespectful reporting to our amazing heroes who fight to protect the country.”
“Our current operations in the Caribbean are permitted by law under international and national law, and all actions comply with the law of armed conflict – and are permitted by military lawyers and civil servants,” the chain of command wrote.
Trump said Sunday that the administration would “look into” the issue but added, “I wouldn’t want to — not a second strike.” The President also defended the hegseths.
“Pete said he wasn’t hung up on the death of those two men,” Trump said. He added, “And I believe him.”
Republican Sen. Roger Wicker of Mississippi, Chairman of the Senate Labor Committee, Rhode Island Sen. Jack the reed of Jack the reed, said the joint statement in advance that the facts are related to the facts related to these circumstances. “
That was followed on Saturday by the Chairman of the House Services Committee, Republican rep.
“We take seriously the reports of attacks on boats suspected of reproducing narcotics in the Southcom region and are taking bipartisan action to collect the full amount of the operation in question,” said Rogers and Smith, referring to the US Southern Command.
Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., asked about the Sept. 2 attack, said Shegseth deserves a chance to show his side.
“We have to come to the truth. I don’t think you will be stupid enough to make this decision to say, kill everyone,” said the survivors because that is a violation of the Law of War, “said Bacon. “So, I strongly suspect that you would have done such a thing because it would be against common sense.”
Kaine and Turner appeared on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” and Bacon was on ABC’s “This Week.”
