Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.), the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, has called for a hearing on the Trump administration’s deadly strikes against alleged drug-trafficking boats off the coast of Venezuela.
Smith accused the administration of refusing to answer questions regarding President Trump’s directives to strike these vessels. The administration argues that the targeted boats were involved in smuggling drugs.
This call for a hearing comes amid growing concerns over the use of military force in counter-narcotics operations and the lack of transparency from the administration about these actions.
