Despite killing 200 people in attacks on suspected drug boats, US has done little to slow drug trade, experts say

Donald Trump’s administration has launched dozens of airstrikes that have killed nearly 200 people in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean, a campaign that military officials have described as a campaign against “terrorist” groups trafficking drugs into the U.S.

But the months-long attacks have reportedly done little to combat the flow of illicit drugs into the country, raising questions about the effectiveness of an operation that law of war experts say amounts to extrajudicial killings and war crimes.
