According to Trump, the strike killed three men, whom he called “narcoterrorist.”
The Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegesh, published a video on social networks that shows a speed ship that moves quickly through water before being beaten by an apparent missile and then wrapped in a large flame explosion.
The Pentagon sent questions to the White House, which did not answer immediately.
Trump said intelligence indicated that the container was trafficking drugs and was “in transit along a drug passage known en route to the Americans of poisoning.”
The strike earlier this week also killed three people, Trump said.
In the past, the United States government has been based on the United States Coast Guard and the personnel application of the Board Ships suspected of transporting drugs for inspection.
But earlier this year, Trump insisted that drug cartels should be in the same legal category as foreign terrorist organizations, raiding the way for the type of lethal force reserved under the law to avoid an imminent kinetic attack against Americans.
The critics of their administration have questioned this legal justification and if it is equivalent to a war crime.
