Rubio promises more strikes on Venezuelan cartels: ‘We’re not going to sit back anymore’

Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday defended President Donald Trump’s strike on a drug cartel-operated vessel off of Venezuela and vowed the U.S. will no longer “sit back” when it comes to “nacro-terrorism.”

In response to questions about the Marine strike Tuesday that hit a vessel in the southern Caribbean Sea while allegedly carrying members of Tren de Aragua smuggling narcotics headed for the U.S., Rubio said, “We’re not going to sit back anymore and watch these people sail up and down the Caribbean like a cruise.”…

“The president of the United States has determined that narco-terrorist organizations pose a threat to the national security of the United States. I don’t need to explain to you why,” Rubio said, noting that the group is known to traffic not only drugs, but arms and people.

“These are not stockbrokers. These are not real estate agents who, on the side, deal a few drugs. These are organized, corporate, structured organizations who specialize in the trafficking of deadly drugs into the United States of America,” Rubio said. “They pose an immediate threat to the United States. Period.”
