"Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered a halt to intelligence sharing with United States security agencies as President Donald Trump's administration continues to launch missiles at boats in the Caribbean. An order has been given at all levels of the public security force's intelligence services to suspend communications and other dealings with US security agencies, Petro said on X on Tuesday, adding that the suspension will remain in force as long as the missile attacks on boats continue."
"The Colombian leader also shared a post with unconfirmed media reports that the United Kingdom has made a move similar to Bogota's over legal concerns related to the ongoing US attacks that have so far killed at least 75 people. Petro has called for Trump to be investigated for war crimes over the strikes, which the US says are targeting drug boats and which have affected citizens of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, and Trinidad and Tobago."
"On Sunday, Petro said he met with the family of a Colombian fisherman who was allegedly killed in one of the strikes. He may have been carrying fish, or he may have been carrying cocaine, but he had not been sentenced to death, Petro said during a summit between Latin American and European Union leaders hosted by Colombia on Sunday. There was no need to murder him."
Colombia ordered a suspension of intelligence sharing with United States security agencies at all levels of public security intelligence until U.S. missile attacks on Caribbean boats stop. A U.S. aircraft carrier arrived in the Caribbean as tensions escalated. The suspension remains in force while the strikes continue. The United Kingdom reportedly took a similar legal step amid concerns over the attacks. The strikes have killed at least 75 people and affected citizens of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia, and Trinidad and Tobago. President Gustavo Petro called for an investigation of President Donald Trump for war crimes and criticized U.S. drug policy.
