Colombian President Gustavo Petro said that the boat bombed by the United States belonged to Colombians. According to him, there were Colombian citizens on board. The White House called this accusation “baseless.”
In recent weeks, the US has struck four boats in the Caribbean, killing 21 people. The US says the attacks targeted vessels carrying illegal drugs. However, no specific information has been given about the victims.
Petro said that “a new war has begun in the Caribbean.” He called on the international community to stop these actions.
The US government asked Petro to retract his statement. Nevertheless, the US and Colombia continue cooperation in the field of security.
