美国因涉嫌毒品贸易失职对哥伦比亚总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗实施制裁
摘要
美国财政部对哥伦比亚总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗实施制裁，指控他纵容毒品贩运集团猖獗，未能遏制可卡因生产。
美国财政部对哥伦比亚总统古斯塔沃·佩特罗实施制裁，指控其政府允许毒品贩运集团繁荣发展，未能有效应对可卡因产量激增。财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示，“佩特罗总统纵容毒品贩运集团猖獗，拒绝制止这一活动。”
对此，佩特罗总统辩称，其政府已显著降低了可可种植园的增长速度，并缴获的可卡因数量超过任何前任政府。他批评美国财政部的行为是“典型的压迫政权的专断行为”。
制裁范围还包括佩特罗的妻子、儿子以及内政部长阿曼多·贝内德蒂，冻结他们在美国可能持有的任何资产，并普遍禁止美国人与他们进行交易。
此事发生在美国国务院于九月撤销佩特罗签证之后，当时他参与了纽约的亲巴勒斯坦抗议活动，并呼吁美军士兵违抗命令。佩特罗指责美国违反国际法，称“因谴责种族灭绝而撤销签证，表明美国不再尊重国际法。”
美国此前曾对俄罗斯、委内瑞拉和朝鲜等国领导人实施制裁。此次对佩特罗及其关联人士的制裁，是美国打击全球非法毒品贸易更广泛努力的一部分。
