Trump’s Speedboat Attack Crossed All the Lines
The U.S. military blew up a speedboat in international waters near Venezuela on Sept. 2, killing all 11 people on board. President Donald Trump claimed that the boat was operated by Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, smuggling drugs. Trump has repeatedly shown that his word isn’t trustworthy, but even giving him the benefit of the doubt, it’s an unprecedented action for a U.S. president, asserting powers far beyond those utilized in the war on terror.
