Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the U.S. military is acting on "reliable intelligence" in targeting boats allegedly smuggling narcotics through the Caribbean. However, he declined to disclose how that information is gathered.
"The Department of War knows who's on those boats and what they're doing," Rubio told Fox News Sunday, responding to criticism that the Trump administration's recent attacks on vessels near Venezuelan waters have resulted in deaths rather than arrests. "There are many boats running through that region ... and they don't take shots at them because they need to know with 100 percent certainty."
