(Reuters) -Colombian President Gustavo Petro ordered Colombian public security forces to suspend intelligence sharing with U.S. intelligence agencies until Washington stops attacking boats in the Caribbean.
"The fight against drugs must be subordinated to the human rights of the Caribbean people," Petro said in a post on X, referencing the two countries' history of collaboration against drug trafficking.
