The US vice president has dismissed accusations of war crimes<\/strong><\/p>\n

US Vice President J.D. Vance has bluntly rejected accusations that a missile strike on a boat carrying alleged Venezuela-linked cartel members amounted to a war crime.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the US destroyed what President Donald Trump described as a “drug-carrying boat”<\/em> in international waters in the southern Caribbean, killing 11 people on board. Trump claimed the vessel was tied to the Tren de Aragua cartel, which he has designated as a terrorist organization. Venezuelan officials dismissed the footage as fabricated, calling it “cartoonish.”<\/em><\/p>\n

In a post on X on Saturday, Vance praised the strike, saying that “killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Social media influencer and frequent Trump critic Brian Krassenstein challenged the attack’s legality, arguing that “killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“I don’t give a s**t what you call it,”<\/em> Vance replied.<\/p>\n

While many Trump supporters backed the vice president, Senator Rand Paul condemned his remarks as “despicable and thoughtless.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The strike followed the deployment of a US naval armada in the western Caribbean last month as part of Trump’s crackdown on drug trafficking. In 2020, a US court indicted Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on charges of leading the Cartel de los Soles, an allegation he denounced as a plot to topple him.<\/p>\n

CNN reported on Friday that Trump is considering strikes against cartels inside Venezuela. The president has denied regime change plans but described the country’s 2024 election as “very strange.”<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
