Colombia Remains Collaborative with US on Drug Trafficking

Colombia has announced a continuation of existing intelligence-sharing arrangements with the United States following a recent decision by President Petro to cease collaboration with the US on targeted naval strikes against suspected drug vessels. This action is a response to ongoing concerns about the flow of illicit substances within the country. The Colombian government maintains that these strikes are necessary to combat drug trafficking and maintain law and order. Colombia’s Ministry of Defense stated the decision is a reflection of a broader security strategy. The specific details of the continued collaboration are still being defined.
