Former President Donald Trump stated in a video that neither he nor Pete Hegseth knew about a second strike carried out on 2 September targeting an alleged Venezuelan drug boat. Trump defended Hegseth, his defense secretary, emphasizing that Hegseth was unaware that a US Navy admiral had ordered the second strike. Hegseth also denied knowledge of the strike but acknowledged that the admiral had full authority to launch the operation. This development emerges amid ongoing discussions surrounding US foreign policy toward Venezuela and the role of the US military in the matter. The report does not provide additional details about the strike’s outcome or operational specifics.
