Tensions are escalating between Colombia and the United States as President Trump conducts deadly airstrikes on supposed "drug boats" in the Caribbean. Colombian President Gustavo Petro accused the U.S. of committing murder for killing a Colombian fisherman in one attack in mid-September and just recalled the country's ambassador, Daniel García-Peña.

"Even if they were in fact carrying drugs, the procedure is to capture them, to seize them, to arrest them and to find information about who was behind them, and not blowing them up," García-Peña tells Democracy Now! from Bogotá.
