Resumen

El Departamento del Tesoro de EE.UU. ha sancionado al presidente colombiano Gustavo Petro, su familia y al ministro del Interior Armando Benedetti, citando fallas en el control de la producción de cocaína y presuntos vínculos con organizaciones criminales.

El Departamento del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos ha impuesto sanciones al presidente colombiano Gustavo Petro, a su esposa, a su hijo y al ministro del Interior Armando Benedetti, acusándolos de no frenar la producción de cocaína en Colombia y de proporcionar beneficios a organizaciones criminales bajo el plan "Paz Total".

El secretario del Tesoro, Scott Bessent, declaró: "Desde que el presidente Gustavo Petro llegó al poder, la producción de cocaína en Colombia ha explotado hasta alcanzar la tasa más alta en décadas, inundando a Estados Unidos y envenenando a los estadounidenses."

En respuesta, el presidente Petro expresó su desafío, escribiendo en las redes sociales: "Ni un paso atrás y nunca de rodillas."

Las sanciones congelan cualquier activo de los individuos designados que se encuentre en Estados Unidos y prohíben a las entidades estadounidenses realizar negocios con ellos.

Esta acción marca una escalada significativa en las tensiones entre Estados Unidos y Colombia, tras disputas previas sobre la política antidrogas y acciones militares contra embarcaciones sospechosas de narcotráfico.
