Trump Repatriates Two Suspected Narco-Terrorist Survivors After Taking Out Drug Submarine

President Donald Trump announced Saturday that two survivors from a military strike on a drug-carrying submarine will be sent to Ecuador and Colombia for prosecution.

The U.S. military destroyed the vessel Thursday as it traveled toward American waters on a known narcotrafficking route. Trump said on Truth Social that intelligence confirmed the submarine carried fentanyl and other illegal drugs.

“It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States,” Trump wrote. “U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics.”

Two of the four people aboard were killed in the strike. Trump called all four “known narcoterrorists.” No U.S. forces were injured.

The president claimed the submarine’s cargo could have killed at least 25,000 Americans if it reached shore. The surviving suspects will face detention and prosecution in their home countries.
