Donald Trump decides the destiny of two survivors pulled from ‘Venezuelan drug boat’ after lethal strike

Two ‘terrorists’ pulled from the wreckage of a Venezuelan ‘drug boat’ destroyed by a US strike will be repatriated to their home countries, the president confirmed.

The individuals were on board the vessel along with two others when it was struck late on Thursday.

Their submarine was targeted because it was carrying illegal narcotics, including fentanyl, according to the president.

He confirmed that two of the alleged terrorists were killed in the strike.

The survivors were returned to their home countries, Ecuador and Colombia, where they will be detained and prosecuted, according to the president. 

Trump added that no US troops were harmed in the strike. 

‘Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea,’ Trump said.
