In recent weeks, the Navy has supported our mission to blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water. You see that?

And you know, there are no boats in the water anymore. You can't find any. We're having a hard time finding them. But you know, it's a pretty tough thing we've been doing. But you have to think of it this way. Every one of those boats is responsible for the death of 25,000 American people, and the destruction of families.

So when you think of it that way, what we're doing is actually an act of kindness. But, we did another one last night. Now we just can't find any. You know, it's the old story we -- we're do -- We're so good at it, that there are no boats. In fact, even fishing boats, nobody [Laughs] wants to go into the water anymore.

Sorry to tell you that. But it's, uh, we stopped. We're stopping drugs coming into America, if that's okay. We're stopping drugs at a level that nobody's ever seen before. Last year we lost, I believe 300,000 people. And that's not talking about the destruction to families. Every one of us knows families that have been destroyed, because the son, daughter -- Even mothers and fathers are destroyed by the fentanyl pouring in, and drugs pouring in. Well, they're not coming in by sea anymore.

So now we'll have to start looking about the land, because they'll be forced to go by land. And [Laughs] you right now, that's not gonna work out well for 'em either. And it was the Truman Carrier Strike Group that unleashed American Fury on the Houthi terrorists in the Red Sea. And as you know, they settled.

But they settled because they made the statement to us, "We've never been hit like that ever before." And earlier this year, conducted the single largest airstrike from an American carrier in history. That was the largest ever. I want to express my personal thanks to every single sailor who contributed to these phenomenal victories.

We only know victory. We're only gonna know victory. We don't want to know the other, the other word, we wanna know victory. We're gonna have great victories in the years to come. Well, at least for almost three and a half years, we're gonna have great victories.

The Guardian (a lib site)

White House says that second strike on vessel was legal and conducted in 'self-defence'
In response to questions from reporters today, Karoline Leavitt defended the second strike on a suspected drug-trafficking vessel on 2 September this year.
“President Trump and secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated Narco terrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war,” Leavitt said of the targeted attack, in which the defense secretary reportedly told officials to “kill everybody” after two survivors were identified after an initial strike.
“Adm Bradley worked well within his authority and the law directing the engagement to ensure the boat was destroyed and the threat to the United States of America was eliminated. And I would just add one more point to remind the American public why these lethal strikes are taking place, because this administration has designated these Narco terrorists as foreign terrorist organizations,” the press secretary added.
Leavitt said today that strike was conducted in “self-defence to protect Americans in vital United States interests”. She also noted that the strike was conducted “in international waters and in accordance with the law of armed conflict”.
