On September 2, the U.S. military carried out the first and second deadly strikes on a Venezuelan boat in the Caribbean on direct orders from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Although no clear evidence has been provided, the Trump administration alleged that the targets were narco-terrorists carrying drugs on their boat. Two of the crew survived the first strike, which led to a second attack issued by the special operations commander of the mission, Admiral Frank Bradley. It was reported by the Washington Post that Bradley was complying with Hegseth’s verbal command, that came before the strikes, to kill all people on board.
