Colombian President Gustavo Petro delivered a harsh condemnation of President Donald Trump during his UN address, comparing him to Hitler and calling for criminal charges regarding recent lethal boat strikes. Petro criticized the U.S. for targeting boats in the Caribbean Sea, claiming they were carrying vulnerable individuals fleeing poverty, and questioned the legality of the strikes, which have resulted in multiple fatalities.
