Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected the Trump administration's claim that the Venezuelan regime is leading the "Cartel de los Soles," saying that it is a "lie like Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, and only serves to invade countries."
"Those running cocaine trafficking in Venezuela are the same ones doing it on Catatumbo, the plains and the Bogota savanna. They are called Drug-trafficking Board and the U.S. government and European intelligence agencies have had information on them for a long time," Petro said in a social media publication.
