Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro alleges that a boat recently struck by US forces in the Caribbean was carrying Colombian citizens, claiming this represents a 'new war scenario' in the region. Petro asserts the incident shows there is 'no war against smuggling' but rather 'a war for oil' that must be stopped. The White House has called these allegations 'baseless,' while the US Senate rejected a measure to bar former President Trump from using force against boats in the Caribbean.
