A report released this week revealed that the U.S. military struck two additional boats in the Pacific Ocean that allegedly were trafficking drugs, killing five people in the operation. It is now understood that since the Donald Trump administration began its so-called “war on drugs,” at least 104 people have been killed in extrajudicial airstrikes.
Trump is still making the media rounds, insisting that he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize — often by dragging Barack Obama’s win and questioning whether Obama even earned it. But the question is now turning back on Trump himself: does he deserve it? The last time Trump claimed to have “stopped” a war was when he invited regional leaders from East Africa to sign a treaty intended to end the DRC–Rwanda conflict — an agreement that was breached less than a week later.
