Bogota halts US arms purchases in row over drugs

Bangkok Post

September 18, 2025

Colombia on Tuesday halted arms purchases from the United States, its biggest military partner, after Washington decertified the South American country as an anti-drugs ally for failing to halt cocaine trafficking.

On Monday, President Donald Trump denounced his leftist Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro for not only failing to curb cocaine production, but overseeing its surge to “all-time records”.

Mr Trump added that as a result he had “designated Colombia as having failed demonstrably to meet its drug control obligations.”

Reacting to the news, Colombian Interior Minister Armando Benedetti told Blu Radio that “from this moment on...weapons will not be purchased from the United States.”

Colombian Army Commander Francisco Cubides added that Bogota’s fight to “disrupt the drug trafficking chain” will continue, “with or without American support.”
