US lawmakers pledge to investigate boat strikes further | BBC News


In the days after a Washington Post report raised questions about a September strike by the US military on a suspected drug trafficking boat in the Caribbean, lawmakers in Congress pledged to investigate further.

It was a rare moment of bipartisan concern about a controversial Trump administration action – prompting speculation that Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was narrowly confirmed to office in January, might be on shaky ground.

Republicans defended the boat strike operation and praised Hegseth.

Since the first September attack, the US has conducted at least 22 similar strikes resulting in more than 80 deaths.
