This Tuesday, the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, stated that “armed aggression by the United States (US) is irrational for the fight against drugs, but it is very rational for invasions in the Caribbean.”

The president, through his account on the social network X, identified the Deputy Chief of Staff of the White House, Stephen Miller, as the mastermind of the launch of missiles in the Caribbean region, which caused the death of at least 20 people in recent days, according to data from the US government itself.

He also added that Washington's policy against drug trafficking is based on a lie that seeks to convince that the method of seizures failed.

“We proved the opposite. This year, the government becomes the largest impounder in the world and in history. We will reach a thousand tons per year,” he said, referring to operations that allow law enforcement to intercept cocaine.

Petro added that his country was included in a list of States that, in the opinion of the United States, do not cooperate fully in the fight against drug trafficking “because they wanted to hide Colombia's success in seizure, to legitimize the crime and murder of indiscriminate bombing.”

In this regard, he said that his nation acts with the support of many police intelligence agencies in the world, including the American ones and also the Arab and European ones.

“By the way, Stephen hides that cocaine is transported in large quantities through the Pacific and there the illegal market will be strengthened, with more violence in the Colombian Pacific, Ecuador, Peru and Chile,” he stressed
