US EditionTrump, Colombia leader trade threats as US strikes boats in Pacific
The US military’s strikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats have killed five people as tensions escalate between Washington and Bogota over anti-cartel operations, with 34 dead in total, US figures show.
- On Wednesday, President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro traded angry threats after U.S. strikes on two alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Pacific Ocean killed five people.
- The Pentagon has told Congress it is in "armed conflict" with Latin American drug cartels, and relations have soured since Trump and Petro took power, intensifying in recent weeks.
- Tuesday's October 21 strike brought the tally of U.S. attacks to at least eight with 34 people dead, using stealth warplanes and Navy ships near Venezuela's coast.
- Colombia recalled its ambassador to Washington and Daniel Garcia‑Pena said `Under no circumstances can one justify that kind of threats and accusations that have no basis whatsoever`.
- Colombia is the world's top cocaine producer but has worked for decades with the United States to curb production, while experts warn summary killings raise legal concerns. At stake here is a historic relationship of more than 200 years that benefits both countries.
