Over the weekend, the U.S.

I was at a fishing village here, and the fishermen are scared.
I spoke to Renute Roberts, and he says when he's out at night, he can hear drones circling.
So he just heads back to shore.
He told me that his daughter was dating one of the young men who was believed killed in one of these strikes.
And he says he was just a fisherman.
I asked him what he would tell President Trump if he could talk to him.
Yeah, I mean, these guys, they've spent their whole lives in the water.
They know what drug boats look like.
And he says some of the videos released by the U.S.
of the strikes, they don't look like drug boats.
He says those boats don't carry more than three people.
They have bigger engines.
And he says what scares him is that sometimes they make trips with medicine, food, and toiletries to Venezuela.
And when you pack all that up, the packages can look the same as drugs.
You know, I spoke to the family of Chad Joseph.
