The strike, ordered by President Donald Trump, resulted in the sinking of the boat and the death of 11 individuals aboard. TDA, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, is accused of mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and violence, operating under the control of Venezuelan dictator Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. The strike occurred in <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >international waters<\/a> as the boat was reportedly transporting illegal narcotics to the United States. Trump emphasized that no U.S. forces were harmed and warned others against bringing drugs into the country. The video, shared by both Trump and the White House, shows the boat sailing before a sudden explosion and fire.
