Shortly after the United States' second attack on a vessel allegedly carrying three Venezuelan drug traffickers off the Caribbean coast became known, President Donald Trump announced that he would attack the cartels on land, just as he has done with the ships.

The United States sank a second boat in the Caribbean Sea on Monday, allegedly carrying three Venezuelan drug traffickers. The president announced this on his Truth Social account, where he stated that the three occupants, whom he called"terrorists," died in the attack.

Donald Trump's warning after the second attack

"This morning, under my orders, U.S. military forces conducted a SECOND kinetic strike against identified and extremely violent drug cartels and narco-terrorists in the Southern Command area of responsibility," the president said in his message.

The president added that no members of the U.S. Armed Forces were injured in the operation and offered a stern warning.

"ATTENTION! IF YOU ARE CARRYING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN!" the president wrote.

The US leader warned that vessels are now rarely seen moving through the area monitored by the US military."We've noticed there are no more ships in the ocean," Trump said.

In addition to confessing that there are literally no boats in the area, President Donald Trump said he was surprised to see this vessel sailing through the Caribbean waters. In his view, this new trend of no longer taking sea routes means drug traffickers have turned to land routes to transport drugs.

"We are telling the cartels right now that we are going to stop them when they come by land, just like we did with the boats," the president warned.

Details of the second attack on the vessel

Later, speaking to reporters inside the Oval Office, Trump claimed that the video of the operation, which shows the moment the boat was attacked, proves the vessel was transporting drug shipments such as cocaine and fentanyl on the high seas.

"Just look at the cargo that was scattered across the ocean. Big bags of cocaine and fentanyl everywhere. We have video evidence because we knew they were going to ask us," he told reporters.

This panorama contrasts sharply with what the president claims his men saw when they first arrived on the coast and there were "hundreds of boats, and now there are none."

"I think the fishing business has probably been affected," the president admitted."I want to be honest, if I was a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing there (...) because I'd say, 'Man, if they think I have drugs down there, I don't want that.'"
