Colombian President Gustavo Petro again criticized U.S. strikes against alleged drug boats in the Caribbean, saying the country "must be taken to the UN Security Council and the UN General Assembly."
"The murder of 27 Latin American people, including the most recent six, after the (UN) Human Rights Commission approved a resolution introduced by Colombia to condition all drug policy to the respect of human rights," Petro said in a social media post on Wednesday. He was making reference to the latest strike announced by U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday, in which he claimed six people smuggling drugs were killed.
