Colombian president Gustavo Petro has said it is "extremely important" that TT search for the remains of the 11 people who were killed in the lethal US strike on an alleged drug boat on September 2.

Petro referred to the boat as a civilian vessel, “About which we do not know if it was carrying drugs, and if it was, it should not have been bombed,” he said in a post to X on September 9.

“The bombing took place in the territorial waters of TT, did the island’s government give permission? Life comes first, always and everywhere,” Petro said.
