In a significant escalation of tensions, President Donald Trump has announced the cessation of all U.S. aid to Colombia, accusing its president, Gustavo Petro, of being an 'illegal drug leader.' Trump stated that despite years of U.S. funding, Colombia's drug trafficking problem remains rampant. This move follows Trump's recent 'decertification' of Colombia as a partner in drug-fighting efforts and coincides with the ongoing cocaine boom attributed primarily to Colombian production. In response, Petro defended his leadership, stating he has worked to expose connections between drug traffickers and the political elite.
