Colombian President Gustavo Petro is urging the U.S. to halt strikes against vessels seemingly involved in drug trafficking. This request follows a surge in seizures, suggesting an intensification of the drug trade. Petro’s call highlights potential disagreements or concerns regarding the effectiveness and consequences of U.S. anti-narcotics operations in the region, particularly the targeting of maritime assets. His stance could signal a shift in Colombia’s approach to combating drug trafficking, emphasizing alternative strategies over aggressive interdiction.
