Colombia’s President says the boat struck by us wore Colombians

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said that a boat, recently bombarded by the US, is “Colombian with Colombian citizens inside,” a claim called the White House is “unfounded”.

The US has hit at least four ships in the Caribbean in recent weeks, killing 21 people. The US government said strikes in international waters are aimed at Narco-Traffickers.

But it did not provide evidence or details of who or what is on board, and strikes attract conviction in the countries in the region against the background of fears that violate international law.

The US Senate rejected a measure on Wednesday, which would ban President Donald Trump from using a military force against boats.

Petroleum responded to the X by US senator Adam Schiff, a Democrat who said he would vote to block strikes against ships in the Caribbean, as some lawmakers were striving to challenge the use of armed forces in Congress.

The Colombian president said a new scenario for war had been opened: the Caribbean. “

Petro added that “indications show that the last bombed boat was Colombian with Colombian citizens inside it.

“I hope their families come out and report it. There is no war against smuggling; there is a war on oil and it must be stopped from the world. Aggression is against all of Latin America and the Caribbean.”

Petroleum did not provide additional details about the alleged identities of those on board. The US has not commented on the identity of the people killed in strikes.

The White House said in a statement that “President Petro is eagerly awaited to publicly withdraw his unfounded and reproached statement.”

It states that while the two countries have “policy differences”, the United States remains “committed to closing the cooperation of a number of common priorities, including regional security and stability.”

Speaking on Thursday at the Gateway Global Forum in the EU in Brussels, Petro said he requested all the Caribbean foreign ministers to meet over strikes.

The United States is said to have its blows, which began on September 2, have directed ships off the coast of Venezuela, which it claims to have carried illegal drugs.

The measure, discussed by the Senate on Wednesday, which would require Trump to seek the approval of the congress for strikes, was rejected at 48-51 votes.

It was introduced by democratic senators Schiff and Tim Kane. The vote fell apart on the guerrilla lines.

Earlier this month, an expiring note sent to the congress said the United States is now categorized as an “non-international armed conflict”.

The formation of this as an active armed conflict is likely to justify the use of military forces, including the killing of “enemy fighters”, even if they do not pose a violent threat.

Trump has already identified many cartels, including in Mexico, Ecuador and Venezuela, as terrorist organizations – granting US authorities with more powers in their response to them.
