Overview
- President Gustavo Petro accused U.S. Senator Bernie Moreno of plotting with U.S. authorities to brand him a narcotrafficker, a claim he linked to the image he says appeared on an official White House page.
- Cambio reported that a photo from the Oval Office showed a document with an apparent AI photomontage of Petro and Nicolás Maduro and a five‑step plan labeled 'The Trump Doctrine' bearing Moreno’s letterhead.
- Colombia’s foreign ministry formally asked Washington for an explanation and initially suggested recalling its ambassador before clarifying that no formal summons was issued.
- Petro said he will present the case to the Organization of American States, calling the situation a national security concern for Colombia.
- U.S. State Department subsecretary Christopher Landau publicly downplayed the Cambio report and urged caution about taking media accounts at face value.
