US President Donald Trump has defended the legality of multiple lethal strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean, even as demands grow in Washington for a full inquiry into Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth’s role. Lawmakers are questioning whether a follow-up strike that killed survivors of an initial attack could constitute a war crime.The Pentagon has outlined the chain of command behind the September 2 strikes, while The Washington Post’s reporting has triggered political uproar over whether orders were issued to kill everyone on board. Trump has distanced himself from the second strike but continues to defend his broader anti-narcotics campaign.Hegseth, already a politically contentious figure, faces renewed pressure as investigations expand, with critics pointing to missteps at the Pentagon and an approach increasingly at odds with US national security priorities.
