At least 37 people have been killed in US attacks on boats suspected of carrying drugs from South America to the US. Most of those attacks happened in the Caribbean sea, off the coast of Venezuela, heightening the tension between the South American nation and the US. Stuck in the middle of the strikes is Trinidad and Tobago, a small island nation with a multimillion-dollar fishing industry and thousands of fishermen who now find themselves in the line of fire.

No one tell those two boys to get involved in illegal activity as what our Prime Minister Kamla Persad Bissessar said: "If anyone is being caught in any illegal activities in the north of Venezuela, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!" No more crying over Ian Alleyne Crime Watch programme! The families is to blame for the death of those 2 boys involved. There were silent when they started to get involved. Why you want the population to sympathize with you because of what is going on just to build a nasty PNM movement against the UNC Government?????!!!!!
SUE AMERICA THAT CRIMINAL DONALD TRUMP NEED TO GET IS DAY. TIME IS THE MASTER.
He was such a good boy. Oh well
From many Trinidadians I spoke too, they say the government is corrupt and aids and turn a blind eye to a lot of things.
Fishermen with 4 speed motors?
Mr Fisherman, stop showing your money, the crooks are watching
Those aren't fisherman you idiots. You can clearly see that in the drone videos 😂😂
After everything we've seen in this video trinidadians are concerned with AJ using voiceovers over their broken english language..that's telling me everything i need to know.

This is madness 🤔
Fake News!! THANK YOU TRUMP!!
they killing people over so call drugs lol for that Oil Money Obama miss out on they can kill people with no consiquen for other nations smfh
I feel insumted as a West I dian to hear an English translation for a person speaking English. I don't see it being done for other English speakers with more complicated accents.
Kill all of them
War on drugs that’s a joke. There has never been a war on drugs, if America does not have a demand the population for drugs than it does not exist. It’s just an agenda by the u. S, as usual, these devils care nothing about humanity
How they killing people and the rapist and pedophile dem free
He was arrested by Trinidad police in 2018 for trafficking drugs from venezuela, he was not a fisherman.
Please do your research. The guy who was claimed to be killed was charged a few years ago for transporting drugs by the coast guard in Trinidad.
We are an English speaking country but to others when we speak our thick dialect and not standard English …it is sometimes not understandable to foreigners …humble yourselves guys lol
Tipical opression of black people!!!!
For shame U.S
He was guilty . There are news articles of him with dugs
USA president is out of his mind, if the previous was affected by dementia this one doesn't even have a brain to affect with it. Trump: the president who supports genocide and trows bombs labeled with peace.
This is insane.
Get rid of all of them by any means necessary…..why they making it seem like he's jus shooting down anybody he see on the water they use drones to identify them first if you traffic drugs you deserve jail or death
Trinidad you have it so wrong
Sad world 🌎 catastrophic kill them all
That give rights to kill civilians for the name of what
T and T speaks better English than most of America. The USA administration is a lie.
America's flags in their muscle murdering people
Why not try to apprehend the boats shoot out the engines and then lock them up
Long live Trinidad 🇹🇹 and Tobago 🇹🇹
I suggest US citizens leave the carribeans for their life
I am Colombian, and believe me, this guys are not fishermen. Some are, but some are drug smugglers, and yes, we approve their taken down. They are no good people and must go to heaven instead.
So this idea that fisherman are also trafficking drugs is a long going stereotype based on pre-conceived notions that Black men are drug dealers
A speed boat for fishing?? Be Real
Aproximadamente 77 millones de estadounidenses son leales a Trump y creen fácilmente narrativas falsas, incluidas operaciones de falsa bandera para justificar cambios de régimen. Durante más de 25 años, los Estados Unidos han impuesto sanciones bajo la Doctrina Monroe para desestabilizar a Venezuela y reemplazar a líderes democráticamente elegidos como Chávez y Maduro con aliados estadounidenses, lo que ha causado millones de refugiados venezolanos. Ahora, Estados Unidos busca derrocar a Maduro por la fuerza militar. Kamliar fomentó el bacanal cuando, hace meses, dijo que se atacara al pueblo venezolano sitiado con fuerza letal.
