President Donald Trump said Tuesday morning that U.S. forces have destroyed a third drug-smuggling vessel from Venezuela, escalating a campaign that has already heightened tensions with Caracas and drawn scrutiny over its legality.
"We knocked off, actually three boats, not two, but we saw two," Trump told reporters as he departed Washington for a trip to London. He offered no additional details about the alleged third strike, which has not been confirmed by the Pentagon.
