Colombia Halts US Intelligence Sharing Amid Caribbean Missile Strikes

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has taken a decisive step by suspending intelligence sharing with the United States, a move spurred by recent missile strikes in the Caribbean that have resulted in significant casualties. The strikes have drawn international scrutiny, with reports suggesting that the UK may follow suit, halting its own intelligence cooperation due to legal concerns.

Petro criticized past US administrations for alleged extrajudicial actions, calling for accountability regarding the impact of these military operations. Meanwhile, the US has increased its military presence in the region, deploying an aircraft carrier and additional troops amid rising tensions.

This situation highlights the complex interplay of international relations, national security, and the ongoing struggle against organized crime in Latin America.
