US Attacks on Pacific Boat Leave at Least 80 Dead Amid International Criticism and Climate Talks Two people killed in US attack on boat in the Pacific Ocean. US forces have been attacking what they claim to be suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean and the Pacific, resulting in at least 80 deaths since September. Critics argue that these attacks are in breach of international law as they occur on international waters with no clear legal justification. The number of US military personnel deployed to the region has increased, with over a dozen warships stationed as part of an operation. Criticism is growing towards Pentagon officials, including Pete Hegseth, who described one of the recent attacks as a "double attack". Three congressmen have accused Hegseth of committing war crimes. The Trump administration has also warned Venezuelan fishermen and pilots to stay away from US airspace. In response, Trump announced a meeting with top officials to discuss tensions between the two countries. Meanwhile, EU member states have agreed on a common climate goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2040 after several hours of negotiations. See article on SVT News.
