白宫为2025年9月2日美军在加勒比海的军事攻击辩护, 声称海军副舰长Frank “Mitch” Bradley合法下令对一艘涉嫌走私毒品的船只进行后续攻击, The White House defended a U.S. military strike in the Caribbean on September 2, 2025, stating Navy Vice Adm. Frank “Mitch” Bradley lawfully ordered a follow-up attack on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel, asserting the action eliminated an ongoing threat. 美国国防部长Pete Hegseth授权这次行动, 造成11人死亡, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth authorized the operation, which killed 11 people, including survivors from the initial strike, prompting bipartisan congressional scrutiny. 双方的立法者呼吁进行调查,要求透明和审查行动的合法性,而五角大楼则认为罢工是合法的,符合军事和国际法。 Lawmakers from both parties called for investigations, demanding transparency and review of the operation’s legality, while the Pentagon maintained the strikes were lawful and consistent with military and international law. Bradley在事件发生后不久就得到宣传,军事领导人重申对旨在打乱非法贩运网络的指挥决定有信心。 Bradley was promoted shortly after the incident, and military leaders reaffirmed confidence in command decisions aimed at disrupting illicit trafficking networks.
