US Military Strikes in Pacific: Congress Seeks Answers

New Report Sparks Congressional Inquiry: U.S. Military Strikes in Eastern PacificThe U.S. military has conducted at least sixteen strikes against alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Eastern Pacific, resulting in the deaths of sixty-six individuals. This has led to questions from members of Congress about the legal justification and strategy behind these operations. Lawmakers, including Representatives Seth Moulton, Don Bacon, Jason Crow, and Mike Turner, are seeking more information from the White House about the legal basis for these strikes and the process for verifying targets. The administration maintains that these operations do not require separate congressional authorization, as U.S. forces are not exposed to hostilities. Congress is requesting further classified briefings and details on review mechanisms for these actions. The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI Powered. Hosted on Acast.
