U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday he would look into reports that the U.S. military conducted a follow-up strike on a boat in the Caribbean that it believed to be ferrying drugs, killing survivors of an initial missile attack.
Trump also said he "wouldn't have wanted" a second strike on the vessel from the incident on Sept. 2 ¡ª the first publicized operation in a series of attacks in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific that Washington says are aimed at combatting the drug trade.
In that incident, the U.S. military saw two survivors of an initial strike clinging to the burning vessel, and proceeded to strike the boat again, The Washington Post reported.
