Trump Orders Drone Strike on Venezuelan Cartel Boat, Warns Traffickers to “BEWARE”

President Donald Trump is sending a message not just to the cartels, but to the world: If you traffic drugs into the United States, prepare to be taken out.

In a dramatic escalation of his war on narco-terrorism, Trump announced Tuesday that U.S. military forces conducted a successful drone strike in the Caribbean Sea, destroying a boat operated by the violent Venezuelan cartel Tren de Aragua (TDA).

“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists,” Trump posted on Truth Social.

The strike took place in international waters and resulted in the deaths of 11 terrorists, according to the president. A video clip of the strike, which Trump released himself, shows a small vessel slicing through the water before being engulfed in flames a direct hit, courtesy of U.S. precision weaponry.

“Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America,” Trump warned. “BEWARE!”

What We Know:

• Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan cartel designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, was the target of the strike.

• The group is tied directly to Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro, and is responsible for a wide range of atrocities including drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and violent crime across the Western Hemisphere.

• No American personnel were harmed in the operation.

The Trump administration has zeroed in on Venezuela’s collapsing socialist regime as the epicenter of Latin American narco-terrorism. The cartel-linked dictatorship of Nicolás Maduro is no longer just a regional headache it’s been officially labeled a national security threat.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that Maduro is now the central figure in an international drug trafficking network that includes TDA, the Sinaloa Cartel, and Cartel de los Soles.

“Maduro uses foreign terrorist organizations like TDA, Sinaloa, and Cartel of the Suns to bring deadly drugs and violence into our country,” said Bondi. “He is one of the largest narco traffickers in the world and a threat to our national security.”

The Numbers Don’t Lie:

• 30 tons of cocaine tied to Maduro have been seized by the DEA.

• 7 tons are directly linked to the dictator himself.

• Over $700 million in assets seized, including luxury jets and vehicles.

And yet, the carnage continues both at home and abroad.

This strike comes on the heels of Trump doubling the bounty on Maduro’s head to $50 million, signaling a renewed commitment to take down the socialist drug kingpin and his terrorist puppets.

This isn’t just foreign policy it’s national defense.

Trump’s clear message to the cartels is one of total elimination. Unlike the feckless diplomatic gestures of past administrations, this is the kind of swift and decisive action that saves American lives and asserts U.S. strength on the global stage.

It also makes one thing crystal clear: Under Trump, America doesn’t negotiate with narco-terrorists we eliminate them.
