Trump: We're going to kill drug dealers, not demand approval of Congress.

US President Donald Trump has declared that the attacks of the United States against “narco-terrorists” do not require war announcements or approval from Congress. He warned that after air strikes on ships suspected of drug trafficking in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, the attacks would also extend to land.

“We'll kill people who bring drugs to our country. We'll kill them. ”

According to the Pentagon, since the beginning of September, American forces have hit at least nine ships in the Caribbean and the Pacific, where at least 37 people have been killed. Washington has named these as military operations against “narco-terrorists”, but without providing concrete evidence of the charges.

Operations have been associated with the delocation of warships, F-35s, a nuclear submarine and thousands of troops in the Caribbean region.

At the same time, the US has toughened accusations against Venezuela and Colombia, claiming that presidents Nicolaas Maduro and Gustavo Petro are involved in drug trafficking, broadcast Klakosova.tv.

Maduro has accused Washington of using the war against cartels as a rationale for military intervention in Venezuela. He has warned that his army has 5,000 Russian land-air missiles available to protect itself from any possible American attack.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused the U.S. of “extra-trial management”, while the Amnesty International named the American campaign “flagrant violation of international law”.
