Three alleged narco-terrorists were killed in a U.S. strike on a drug smuggling vessel affiliated with Colombia’s National Liberation Army, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Sunday.
The vessel was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was traveling along a known narco-trafficking route, and was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics,” he said in a post on X.
Earlier today, US President Donald Trump on Sunday labelled Colombian President Gustavo Petro an “illegal drug leader” and said the United States would stop “large scale payments and subsidies” to Colombia.
Trump claimed that the country’s drug production fuels the sale of “massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc,” in a post on Truth Social.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro disputed that the vessel was affiliated with ELN, calling it a fishing boat that belonged to a “humble family.” My Comment: Yeah, Right!
