TRUMP: SURVIVORS FROM STRUCK DRUG SUB SENT TO ECUADOR, COLOMBIA AFTER 6TH U.S. CARIBBEAN BORDER STRIKE

President Donald Trump said two survivors from a U.S. military strike on a drug‑carrying semi‑submersible will be repatriated to Ecuador and Colombia for prosecution. The strike — the sixth reported since early September along the Venezuela–Ecuador–Colombia corridor — killed two of four aboard and is framed by the administration as part of an "armed conflict" with cartels to protect the U.S. border. The pattern raises legal and diplomatic questions over extraterritorial use of force and handling of survivors outside the U.S. justice system.
