> The US military says it killed four people in a strike on a suspected drug-smuggling boat in the Caribbean. The operation is part of the Trump administration’s yearlong campaign against alleged Latin American drug traffickers, which rights groups condemn as unlawful extrajudicial killings. No evidence was released that the boat carried drugs.
