A U.S. military strike on a suspected drug-running boat in the Caribbean Sea left four people dead on Sunday, defense officials confirmed. The incident marks the latest action in a yearlong counter-narcotics campaign directed by the Trump administration against suspected trafficking operations in Latin America. According to official figures, Sunday’s strike brings the total toll to at least 235 people killed across 70 separate boat strikes since September 2025, when the administration officially began targeting individuals it designates as “narcoterrorists.” [snip] The administration has repeatedly characterized the anti-smuggling effort as an “armed conflict” with Latin American cartels. President Donald Trump has defended the maritime strikes as an essential escalation aimed at halting the flow of illicit drugs and curbing fatal overdoses across the United States, though critics and monitors note the administration has released minimal corroborating evidence verifying the identities or illicit cargo of those killed. [snip] At the same time, Washington is actively seeking agreements to expand military actions onto land throughout the region. During a trip to Panama in August, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that Colombia, Guatemala, and Honduras had agreed to permit joint U.S. military operations against criminal networks within their borders. Guatemala’s government later denied the existence of any such agreement. Ecuador began conducting similar joint missions alongside U.S. forces in March.
