President Donald Trump’s administration recently blew up a drug boat carrying 11 suspected drug dealers cruising through international waters with product. Trump’s admin used a drone strike to blow up the drug boat and video of it was posted on social media as a warning to future drug dealers trafficking product through the water.<\/p>\n
Secretary of State Marco Rubio defended the move and stated that more drastic measures like this would take place, despite pushback from any critics. Rubio said destroying the vessel, instead of intercepting it and arresting people, sends a message to the world that drug running into America won’t be tolerated. \u201cInstead of interdicting it, on the president\u2019s orders, we blew it up \u2014 and it\u2019ll happen again,\u201d Rubio said<\/p>\n
One such critic was Sen. Rand Paul, who said the following on Newsmax: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to have any sympathy for drug dealers trying to import product into our country,\u201d he began, \u201cbut at the same time, I guess, you might ask the question, where does it end?\u201d<\/p>\n
