The U.S. military has carried out strikes on three alleged drug boats in the eastern Pacific, resulting in eight fatalities. The operation, directed by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, is part of ongoing efforts to counter drug trafficking and terrorist organizations. Lawmakers were briefed on the mission, with Republicans generally supporting the administration's authority and Democrats calling for greater transparency, particularly regarding a controversial previous strike.

Additionally, the article reports on congressional debates over the future of Affordable Care Act subsidies. While House Republican leaders are proposing reforms without extending the subsidies, some moderate Republicans are advocating for a bipartisan extension. Congress faces a limited timeframe to address the expiring subsidies before recess.

EE.UU. ataca otros tres presuntos barcos de narcotraficantes en el Pacífico y mata a ocho personas

El ejército de EE.UU. dice que ha llevado a cabo nuevos ataques mortales contra tres presuntos barcos de la droga en el Pacífico oriental matando a ocho personas. El Comando Sur de EE.UU. publicó un video del ataque diciendo que la operación se llevó a cabo bajo la dirección del Secretario de Defensa Pete Hegseth. Esto se produce cuando el Secretario de Defensa y el Secretario de Estado Marco Rubio estaban en el Capitolio esta mañana para informar a los miembros de la Cámara sobre el los ataques militares en curso. Esta ha sido una misión de gran éxito que sigue y continúa y estamos complacidos de estar aquí hoy para poner al día al Congreso sobre cómo se está desarrollando y cómo está avanzando. Es la 22ª reunión informativa bipartidista que hemos tenido sobre una misión de gran éxito para contrarrestar las organizaciones terroristas designadas, los cárteles, trayendo armas, armas que significan drogas, al pueblo americano y envenenando al pueblo americano durante demasiado tiempo. La corresponsal de CBS News en el Congreso Nicole Killian está en el Capitolio con más información. Nicole, ¿cómo están respondiendo los legisladores a esta sesión informativa? Sí, bueno, obviamente estuvimos allí para la declaración de la secretaria, así como para el informe de muchos legisladores que compartieron sus diferentes opiniones. conclusiones. Ya sabes, los republicanos, por supuesto, en general defendieron la sensación de la administración de que siguen teniendo la autoridad para llevar a cabo estos ataques en el Caribe, aunque algunos cuestionaron cuál es el objetivo final en cuanto a una estrategia aquí. Pero muchos demócratas fueron ciertamente más críticos. Ellos todavía creen que los legisladores, al menos, deben tener acceso a ese video sin editar de ese golpe de barco, que controvertido en septiembre, donde vimos a un grupo de sobrevivientes aferrándose a un barco y luego un ataque posterior, lo que es conocido como doble ataque. Escucha lo que el líder Schumer tiene que decir al respecto. Sus políticas en el Caribe no están claras. No sabemos cuáles son los límites. No sabemos dónde se detendrán. No sabemos cuál es el objetivo final. El presidente dice cosas diferentes en momentos diferentes y se contradice. Por eso necesitamos total transparencia. Ahora, tenemos entendido que habrá otra reunión informativa mañana aquí en el Capitolio, esta vez con el almirante Frank Bradley, que ha estado aquí en el Capitolio antes, pero que supervisó el controvertido ataque del 2 de septiembre. Se espera que informe a los miembros del Comité de Servicios Armados de la Cámara de Representantes y del Senado. se espera que vean el video en cuestión. Al menos es probable que los comités de jurisdicción tengan acceso a él. Así que está por ver si eso disipa o no las preocupaciones de cara al futuro. Pero sin duda hay una continuación de este tipo de sesiones informativas para tratar de obtener los legisladores las respuestas que necesitan, si es o no los legisladores estén satisfechos con ellas o no. Nicole, ¿qué hay de nuevo en el debate sobre la sanidad? Sabemos que los demócratas quieren continuar con los subsidios de la Ley de Asistencia Asequible. ¿Qué dice el Partido Republicano? Bueno, obviamente, veremos a los líderes republicanos de la Cámara de Representantes presentar una serie de propuestas en el pleno de esta semana que no incluyen un extensión de los subsidios mejorados de la Ley de Asistencia Asequible. En lugar de eso, estas son propuestas favorables al GOP, cosas como permitir a las pequeñas empresas unirse en estas asociaciones. planes de salud, como se les conoce. También incluye algunas reducciones de costes y algunas reformas adicionales. Pero hay un grupo de republicanos moderados que ha estado presionando por un arreglo bipartidista aquí, algún tipo de extensión de estos subsidios, ya sea un año o dos, junto con las reformas de la Ley de Asistencia Asequible. Hasta ahora, el orador dice que no va a permitir una votación de enmienda sobre uno de esos planes. Pero los moderados tienen la esperanza de que cambie su postura al respecto. Por supuesto, el Congreso entra en receso al final de la semana, por lo que no queda mucho tiempo para abordar la cuestión de la caducidad de estas leyes. subvenciones. Muy bien, Nicole Killian, gracias.
