Colombia's president defiant after US sanctions over drug trafficking

The United States on Friday announced sanctions on Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, who Washington has accused of failing to curb illicit drug trafficking, alongside his wife and son.

"President Petro has allowed drug cartels to flourish and refused to stop this activity," said US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in a statement unveiling the move.

"President [Donald] Trump is taking strong action to protect our nation and make clear that we will not tolerate the trafficking of drugs into our nation," he added.
