Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Monday vowed that the United States will pursue narcoterrorists across the hemisphere after a second U.S. military strike on a Venezuelan vessel in international waters.

"Narco-terrorists are enemies of the United States — actively bringing death to our shores," Hegseth wrote in a post on X which was accompanied by a White House video with images from the alleged strike. "We will stop at nothing to defend our homeland and our citizens. We will track them, kill them, and dismantle their networks throughout our hemisphere — at the times and places of our choosing."
