U.S. sanctions Colombian leader, deploys ships
Los Angeles Times
|October 25, 2025
The United States slapped sanctions on Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Friday and said it was sending a massive aircraft carrier to the waters off South America, a new escalation of what the White House has described as a war against drug traffickers in the region.

Also Friday, the U.S. military conducted its 10th strike on a suspected drug-running boat, killing six people in the Caribbean Sea.
The Treasury Department said it was sanctioning Petro, his wife, his son and a political associate for failing to stop the flow of cocaine to the United States, noting that cocaine production in Colombia has risen in recent years. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent accused Petro of "poisoning Americans."
Petro denied those claims in a statement on X, saying he has fought to combat drug trafficking for decades. He said it was "quite a paradox" to be sanctioned by a country with high rates of cocaine consumption.
