Columbia president invites us to attacks on alleged drug boats, “Tyranny Law”

Colombia President Gustavo Petro told the BBC in an interview where he also called for criminal procedures against US officials if investigations were found that the Colombians had been killed in the attacks.

President Donald Trump has given the strikes, which have been said to have killed 17 since it started this month, as needed to stop the flow of fentanel and other illegal drugs to the United States.

Nevertheless, legal and legitimate experts questioned whether they were violating international human rights laws.

“Why do you launch a missile if you can simply stop the boat and arrest the crew?” Petro said. “This is what one calls killing.”

Speaking to BBC on Wednesday, Petro said that there should be “zero death” in stopping the fast boats that are believed to be involved in drug trafficking.

“We have a long history of cooperation with American agencies and other agencies to implement naval seizures for cocaine,” he said. “No one has died before. There is no need to kill anyone.”

He added that the principle that suits the power has violated “if you use anything more than a pistol.”

The strikes in international waters focused primarily on the neighbors of Colombia Venezuela, according to the Trump administration, but the United States has only provided a few details about the goals and individuals who were killed, and its reports that the members of the Trine de Aragua gang were on the boat that was attacked the first in a conflict.

Democratic lawmakers in Washington demanded answers from the White House because of the legitimacy of strikes, which UN experts described as external executions.

When asked about Petro comments, the White House said that Trump “is ready to use every element of the American force to prevent drugs from floods to our country and bring those responsible for justice.”

In the interview, which was held in New York, where figures from all over the world met at an annual United Nations meeting, Petro accused the Trump administration of the degrading of its people and said that the countries of South America like him will not “bend to the king.”

After returning to his post in January, Trump tightened his speech, as well as his commercial policies, to all Latin America when he began a major deportation for people who say he illegally across the American border.

Trump has also appointed several drug tracking organizations, criminal groups in Mexico and other places in Latin America as terrorist organizations.

In addition to Tren De Aragua, Trump took a goal to Cartel Sen

The US military has moved to support its forces in the southern Caribbean over the past two months, including by deploying additional naval ships and thousands of naval infantry and American sailors.

Petro has erupted over and over again with its American counterpart. Click on whether he is now risking an increase in his country’s isolation, Petro said it was Trump who wasolates the United States with his foreign policies.

“Trump had already insulted me during a presidential campaign, and they called me a terrorist,” he said.
