If we just have our actual government fighting for the interests of Americans and nobody else, we can make this country safer, we can protect your jobs, we can make sure you've got the best wages anywhere in the world, and we can stop this terrible poison from coming into our country."
"This month, Hegseth was asked which authority the administration used to justify the boat bombings. We have the absolute authority and complete authority to conduct that, the secretary replied.

Vice President JD Vance praised President Donald Trump's authorization of airstrikes on boats alleged to be trafficking drugs during a Michigan rally. Trump reportedly ordered strikes on at least two Venezuelan vessels in the Caribbean and posted videos of the explosions on Truth Social. Administration officials dismissed legal concerns about bombing vessels in international waters. Vance said he spoke with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and quoted Hegseth expressing complete authority to conduct the strikes for defense of the American people. Vance framed the strikes as actions to protect American jobs, wages, and to stop deadly narcotics from entering the country.
