The Colombian government has terminated arms purchases from the United States, its largest military partner, as tensions rise with the Trump administration over accusations Colombia is failing to combat cocaine trafficking. Colombian President Gustavo Petro denounced U.S. intervention, saying his government “will not be blackmailed” and that more cocaine has been seized under his administration than any previous presidents.

In more news from Colombia, 12 former soldiers have been sentenced to eight years of reparations work over their role in the extrajudicial executions of 135 civilians during Colombia’s U.S.-backed conflict.
