美国宣布与毒品贩运集团武装冲突,随后在加勒比地区发动打击行动

摘要

特朗普总统将毒品贩运集团定性为非法战斗人员,启动在加勒比地区的军事行动。

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布,美国正与毒品贩运集团处于“非国际武装冲突”状态,并将其指定为非法战斗人员。此声明紧随美国军方近期对加勒比地区涉嫌毒品走私船只的打击行动之后。

美联社获得的一份特朗普政府备忘录指出,总统已认定这些贩毒集团为非国家武装团体,并指示五角大楼根据武装冲突法对其开展行动。备忘录强调,使用武力是为了自卫及保护他人免受这些被指定为恐怖组织的持续攻击的必要措施。

美国军方上个月在加勒比地区对三艘船只实施了致命打击,其中至少两艘来自委内瑞拉。这些行动导致船只及其非法毒品被摧毁,约17人死亡。

白宫副新闻秘书安娜·凯利对这些行动发表评论称,总统的行为符合武装冲突法,旨在保护国家免受试图将致命物质带入美国海岸的威胁。她补充说,总统正在兑现其承诺,打击贩毒集团,消除这些国家安全威胁。

五角大楼官员向参议员通报了这些打击行动,引发了关于政府法律框架及国会在授权此类军事行动中角色的质疑。一些议员对行政权可能的过度扩张表示担忧,指出军事力量被用于执法目的。

罗德岛州参议员、参议院军委会最高民主党成员杰克·里德表示,虽然毒品贩运集团令人厌恶,必须由执法部门处理,但特朗普政府尚未提供可信的法律依据、证据或情报支持这些打击行动。

政府尚未澄清军方如何评估船只货物及确定乘客所谓关联身份后才实施打击。
