As Hegseth stated, the administration of US President Donald Trump supports the decision of its commanders regarding attacks on probable vessels involved in drug smuggling from Venezuela.
He noted that the US has suspended strikes because it is now difficult to find drug boats in the waters. But strikes against drug traffickers will continue.
