As US forces in the Caribbean zone in on tankers shipping sanctioned Venezuelan oil, questions have deepened about the real motivation for Donald Trump's pressure campaign on Caracas. Is the military show of force really about drug trafficking, as Washington claims? 🇺🇸 🛢️ 🇻🇪 u.afp.com/S8Nf

The Trump administration has not yet offered a legal rationale for murdering 11 people in a strike on a Venezuelan boat, which begs the question — was there even an attempt to concoct one for the attack? I filed a FOIA request with the Pentagon and the Office of Legal Counsel to find out.
