Colombian President Gustavo Petro has suspended intelligence sharing with U.S. intelligence agencies due to controversial U.S. military strikes on alleged drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean, which have resulted in significant civilian casualties. Petro condemned these actions as extrajudicial and contrary to human rights, prompting calls for investigations into potential war crimes. This decision marks a significant strain in Colombia-U.S. relations, historically strong in counter-narcotics efforts, and aligns with similar moves by the UK. The suspension reflects Colombia’s commitment to sovereignty and human rights amidst increasing tensions in the region, particularly concerning U.S. military presence near Venezuela.
