Summary
President Donald Trump's administration admitted on Tuesday to striking another foreign boat and killing four people, according to a new report. The strike is the second in as many days, the New York Times reported, and marks the revival of one of the administration's most controversial policies. Since Trump began his second term, the administration has conducted 50 strikes against foreign boats, many of which were alleged to be carrying drugs. In all, the strikes have killed roughly 174 people."The U.S. Southern Command, led by Gen. Francis L. Donovan of the Marine Corps, announced the strike on social media with a 16-second video that showed a stationary boat floating in the water and then exploding," the report reads in part. "Legal specialists on the use of lethal force have said the strikes are illegal, extrajudicial killings because the military cannot deliberately target civilians who do not pose an imminent threat of violence, even if those people are suspected of engaging in criminal acts," it added. "The Trump administration has not provided evidence of drug smuggling."
