Colombia's president calls for criminal investigation against Trump over Caribbean strikes

1. Accountability Knows No Borders

Petro's statement may be provocative, but it cuts to a core truth: the global South is done being collateral damage in U.S. foreign policy.
If the strikes killed civilians — especially poor, unarmed Latin Americans — then someone must be held accountable, no matter their title.

The U.S. has long waged its "war on drugs" in Latin America with devastating consequences: destabilized governments, mass displacement, and countless civilian deaths — all while ignoring the economic desperation that fuels the drug trade in the first place.

What Petro is demanding isn’t anti-American — it’s pro-human rights.
If the Trump administration ordered lethal force based on flawed intel or racialized assumptions, then yes, international law must apply — even to ex-presidents.

The era of impunity must end.
