Colombia Accuses U.S. of Sovereignty Violation After Caribbean Bombing

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro has vocally condemned the United States for what he describes as a grave violation of Colombian sovereignty. He accuses the U.S. of murder following a bombing that targeted fishermen in the Caribbean Sea, marking a significant escalation in diplomatic tensions.

The fallout from this incident includes the recall of Colombia's ambassador to the U.S. and harsh public exchanges between the two leaders. President Donald Trump has labeled Petro a 'lunatic' and an 'illegal drug lord,' further complicating relations.

The U.S. military has conducted multiple strikes against alleged drug traffickers in the region, resulting in numerous casualties. This military approach has drawn criticism from lawmakers, who demand accountability and greater transparency regarding the justification for such actions.

As both nations navigate this fraught situation, concerns about potential military escalation and the impact on bilateral relations loom large.
