US admiral to brief lawmakers as bipartisan scrutiny grows over boat strike
Questions mount over US attack in Caribbean Sea that killed survivors on boat allegedly carrying drugs
A US navy admiral will provide a classified briefing to lawmakers overseeing the military on Thursday as they investigate a US attack on a boat in the Caribbean Sea allegedly carrying drugs that included a second strike that killed any survivors.
The White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, on Monday said the second strike was carried out “in self-defence” and in accordance with laws governing armed conflict.
