Gustavo Petro stated that some airlines intended to apply the U.S. OFAC law in Colombia due to his ties with Colombian individuals. He asserted that this legislation did not apply in Colombian territory and that for it to do so, the country would need to change its Constitution through a Constituent Assembly. Petro said that OFAC had stopped focusing on drug traffickers and that, according to him, people opposed to the genocide in Gaza were included on its lists. He claimed that he was sanctioned for his speech before the UN and for asking for the formation of a United Nations army to defend Gaza, which would include the Colombian battalion deployed in Sinai to protect Palestinian children. He also accused the DEA of spending a year searching for and fabricating evidence regarding alleged links of his with drug trafficking. He said that drug traffickers whom he himself extradited, and who he claimed wanted to kill him, were the ones who believed those accusations. He maintained that Colombian drug trafficking had political influence, but that it was not found in progressivism, which, according to him, the narcos had pursued and attacked. Petro accused drug trafficking of supporting extreme right-wing ideas and stated that Colombian drug traffickers had access to the White House while poor farmers and people transporting small amounts of drugs through the Caribbean were being pursued. He added that drug traffickers with judicial agreements in the United States were moving shipments in submarines and had fleets of planes, and asserted that cocaine traveled in containers from companies of presidents who met with Donald Trump.
