US President Donald Trump said that the submarine, which he claimed was transporting drugs, was sunk by the US military in the Caribbean Sea, and the two survivors will be returned to their countries.
Trump, in a post on Truth Social, commented on the explosion of the submarine, which was heading towards USA.
The President said the submarine was struck over the Caribbean Sea while it was “transporting drugs” towards US territory. There were four “narco-terrorists” on board the submarine, two of whom were killed.
“The two surviving terrorists will be returned to their countries, Ecuador and Colombia, where they will be arrested and brought to justice,” the US President said, stressing that he will continue to fight drugs imported into his country through the Caribbean, as both at sea and on land.
Trump also shared a video showing how the submarine was hit.
