We what?

I can't find hardly any info on this plant that builds narco boats......wth???

"We just knocked out ... a big plant to - a big facility where they send the, you know, where the ships come from," the president added. "Two nights ago, we knocked that out, so we hit them very hard."

Trump did not specify exactly where the strike occurred, and didn't say whether it took place on the Venezuelan mainland.

So, did they bomb Opalocka, FL, where they build Cigarette Boats for import?
Maybe some other Gulf Coast or Caribbean fishing boat shipyards. Or maybe the ones near Kingston, or Santa Domingo, Tulum, all other places around the Caribbean ...
Boat building is fungible. Especially small fishing boats.

in spite of allegedly saying this in on-the-air radio interview it seems it's "ho hum". Seriously, was he confusing blowing up boats with building new battle ships? If it really happened OR he really made up the event, why isn't it a big thing?

They have to be built somewhere--they don't just grow underground like potatoes, waiting to be full sized so they can be dug up.

Yeah, it deals with Spain, but then again it's not like they're not multi-use. If they can do long runs, they can do short runs.
