Trump Administration Under Scrutiny for Lack of Transparency in Boat Target Selection
U.S. airstrikes have killed dozens of alleged drug runners aboard boats off the Caribbean and Pacific coasts of South America since September, but the Trump administration is sharing little information about how targets are being chosen.
The Trump administration is facing scrutiny for its lack of transparency in the selection of targets for recent airstrikes that have resulted in the deaths of alleged drug runners aboard boats in South America. Since September, a series of U.S. airstrikes have targeted boats off the Caribbean and Pacific coasts, leading to the deaths of numerous individuals.
Despite these actions, the administration has provided scant details on the criteria and process used to choose these targets. Critics are questioning the legality and justification for these airstrikes, especially in the absence of clear information on how targets are being identified and selected.
The lack of transparency has raised concerns about the potential for civilian casualties and the impact of these operations on regional stability. As pressure mounts for more clarity on the decision-making process, the Trump administration finds itself under increasing scrutiny over its handling of these operations.
