BBC Coverage of US Caribbean Military Operations
The BBC reported on the scale of US military operations against drug smuggling boats, noting that at least 19 vessels have been destroyed, resulting in over 70 deaths. The Trump administration defended the actions by claiming each boat carries enough drugs to kill 25,000 Americans. Critics and legal experts cited by the BBC argue the campaign breaches international law by treating a criminal enterprise as a military conflict.
