Colombia‘s president, Gustavo Petro, has accused Washington of „murder“ after the U.S. military struck an alleged drug-trafficking vessel last month.

Petro said the White House had violated the South American country‘s sovereignty and killed a Colombian fisherman, named by the president as Alejandro Carranza. Colombian media reported Carranza was onboard a boat targeted by U.S. forces on September 15.
