The Trump administration has issued a statement asserting the legality of recent maritime operations targeting drug trafficking organizations. In a September Congressional briefing, President Trump stated that he had determined a conflict had arisen between the United States and a cartel. This statement indicates a focus on securing strategic assets and disrupting criminal activity. The administration claims the operations are conducted under legal authority and are necessary to protect national security. The specific details of the operations remain undisclosed, but this assertion is being closely scrutinized by legal experts.
