The White House’s account of who gave the order to hit an alleged drug-smuggling boat a second time conflicted with what President Donald Trump told reporters a day earlier.

When asked about reports that the U.S. military killed two survivors of an earlier strike on a boat suspect of ferrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea in September, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump ordered "everyone be killed" aboard the boat.

"The initial order, from [Defense] Secretary [Pete] Hegseth, said, ‘everyone be killed,’ and that came from President Donald Trump," Leavitt said on Monday.
