Colombian President Gustavo Petro has accused the United States of killing an innocent fisherman during what President Donald Trump described as a strike on a drug-smuggling vessel. The US military has destroyed several boats in the Caribbean since September as part of President Trump’s campaign to eliminate what he called narco terrorists trafficking cocaine and fentanyl.

The Colombian President in a social media post said, a Colombian lifelong fisherman was killed on September 16 and US government officials have committed murder and violated our sovereignty in our territorial waters. Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to drug traffickers and his daily activity was fishing, President Petro wrote.
