Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused the US of killing an innocent fisherman during what President Donald Trump described as a strike on a drug-smuggling vessel.
The US military has destroyed several boats in the Caribbean since September as part of Trump’s campaign to eliminate “narcoterrorists” trafficking cocaine and fentanyl.
According to Petro, a Colombian “lifelong fisherman” was killed on September 16. “US government officials have committed murder and violated our sovereignty in our territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to drug traffickers and his daily activity was fishing,” Petro wrote on X on Saturday.
