According to the Associated Press, Colombian President Petro responded strongly to the U.S. government on Tuesday on social platform X, vowing not to let Colombia "kneel down" to U.S. interests. Earlier (15), the U.S. government listed Colombia and other countries on the "failure to effectively fulfil its international anti-drug obligations" list. On the U.S. side's decision, Petro reiterated that the U.S. attempted to "interfere" in Colombian political affairs, and that the U.S. government sought a "kneel down" in the country's presidential election next year. He said that "the Colombian people will respond to the pledge", and said that the U.S. leader will not "kneel down" to U.S. interests.
