Following President Trump’s declaration that military action was possible in Colombia due to drug trafficking, Colombia’s Foreign Ministry strongly rejected any threats of aggression.

Colombia has condemned U.S. military strikes in the region, leading to a breakdown in intelligence cooperation and a formal complaint from the family of a Colombian national killed in a U.S. strike.
