Colombia to suspend intelligence cooperation with US over strikes on drug vessels

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ordered security forces to stop sharing intelligence with the United States until it stops striking suspected drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean. It wasn’t immediately clear what kind of information Colombia will stop sharing with the United States after Petro acted Tuesday. At least 75 people have been killed by the U.S. military in strikes in international waters since August. The strikes began in the southern Caribbean but have shifted recently to the eastern Pacific. In October, the Trump administration placed financial sanctions on Petro over accusations of involvement in the global drug trade.
