Democrats Claim Airstrikes on Drug Boats Are "Murders," Not Anti-Drug Strategy

Democratic lawmakers criticized the Trump administrations airstrikes on drug boats, labeling them as murders rather than an effective anti-drug strategy against fentanyl trafficking.

• On October 30, 2023, members of the Democratic Party (United States) condemned airstrikes that targeted at least fifteen boats allegedly involved in fentanyl trafficking.
• The airstrikes, conducted under Donald Trump, have been described by Democrats as lacking a coherent strategy, raising concerns about their impact on Democracy and human rights.
• Lawmakers emphasized that the current approach is ineffective and counterproductive, arguing that it risks innocent lives while failing to address the larger fentanyl crisis in the United States.
