On Friday, Donald Trump announced the shipment of ten F-35 fighter jets to Puerto Rico. This action follows a previous US military strike on a boat in the Caribbean Sea, which the administration characterized as a targeted attack against Venezuelan drug traffickers. The Trump administration has repeatedly stated that such attacks are necessary to combat drug trafficking in the region. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later expressed concern that further military strikes are anticipated. The shipment of aircraft is part of a broader strategy to enhance US security and deter illegal activities in the Caribbean.
