The Trump administration said Monday it has provided seven separate classified briefings on US military strikes on alleged drug boats, even as lawmakers have said they have not received the information they want.

WASHINGTON -- WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military has built up an unusually large force in the Caribbean Sea and the waters off the coast of Venezuela since this summer, when the Trump administration first began to shift assets to the region as part of its so-called war against narcoterrorism.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the military carried out strikes in the eastern Pacific Ocean against boats accused of carrying drugs, killing 14 people.
