US Sanctions Colombia's President Over Drug Trafficking Claims

Right narrative

Sanctions target an erratic president who refuses to cooperate on counter-drug efforts and displays hostile behavior toward America, not the country he represents. Petro's outrageous conduct — including encouraging U.S. troops to disobey orders — demands individual accountability while preserving strong ties with the Colombian people and institutions. This is a measured response that protects America's interests without harming ordinary Colombians who support U.S. partnership.
