TSX gains after CPI shows US inflation rose 3%
Investing.com -- A U.S. military strike against an alleged drug vessel in the Caribbean killed six suspected "narco-terrorists," Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Friday.
The operation, which targeted a vessel reportedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang, marked the first nighttime strike in President Donald Trump’s counter-drug campaign that began in September.
Hegseth shared details of the overnight mission in a post on X, framing it as part of the administration’s ongoing efforts to combat drug trafficking in the region.
The Caribbean operation represents an escalation in the Trump administration’s counter-narcotics strategy, which has increasingly utilized direct military action against suspected drug traffickers at sea.
