Breaking News: Rubio, Hegseth Warn Lawmakers of Growing Threat from Deadly Boat Strikes
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth briefed top congressional members behind closed doors on Capitol Hill today, warning of a growing threat from deadly boat strikes. The briefing comes after a wave of unprecedented US military strikes against alleged drug boats, which have raised concerns about a new war.
According to sources, Rubio and Hegseth informed lawmakers that the strikes have resulted in a significant increase in boat-related fatalities and injuries. The US military has been conducting the strikes since September, targeting vessels in international waters.
The briefing was held in response to growing bipartisan demands for more information on the attacks. Lawmakers have submitted months of requests for details on the strikes, which have not been authorized by Congress. Legal analysts have described the strikes as illegal under both US and international law.
The current status of the situation remains unclear, but lawmakers are expected to continue pressing for answers. Rubio and Hegseth are scheduled to testify before Congress in the coming days.
