The Trump administration has issued a statement asserting the legality of recent maritime operations targeting drug trafficking groups. In a September Congressional briefing, President Trump stated that he had determined a non-international armed conflict was occurring, justifying the strikes. The administration argues these actions are necessary to disrupt organized crime and protect national security. The statements were made as part of a broader discussion regarding the administration’s strategy for combating drug trafficking across the United States. The precise details of the operations remain undisclosed.
