President Donald Trump announced the end of U.S. aid to Colombia after accusing their president, Gustavo Petro, of allowing and promoting the production of drugs.

In a Truth Social post, Trump alleged that Gustavo is “strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs” all over Colombia. He claimed that Petro is doing “nothing to stop it,” prompting the end of all payments and subsidies to Colombia.

This news comes a day after Petro accused the U.S. of murdering an innocent fisherman in a boat, which American authorities claim contained illicit drugs. “U.S. government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters,” Petro wrote in a Saturday X post. Named by the president as Alejandro Carranza, the victim of a September 15 strike was said to be aboard an adrift boat with its distress signal up due to engine failure. Currently, no information has been released proving Carranza was involved in drug trafficking.

The number of American forces deployed in Colombian waters is higher than ever, and seven strikes have been directed toward alleged drug boats. On October 19, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the latest strike on a vessel he claimed to be affiliated with E.L.N, a far-left guerrilla insurgency group. American intelligence officials believed the vessel to be involved in illicit narcotic smuggling and transportation. Hegseth said three people aboard the vessel were killed and no U.S. forces were harmed in the strike.

The dynamic between Petro and Trump has been charged. On September 26, the United States revoked Petro’s visa after he appeared at a pro-Palestinian rally, where he urged U.S. soldiers to disobey Trump’s orders and instead “obey the order of humanity.” Petro has criticized Trump before, calling him the United States’ “new Hitler” in a U.N speech last month.

Tensions are rising between the two prominent world leaders.
