Overview
- The U.S. Treasury placed President Gustavo Petro, his family, and Interior Minister Armando Benedetti on the 'Clinton List', triggering asset blocks and prohibiting transactions by U.S.-linked firms and banks.
- Petro reported the presidential aircraft was denied fuel in Cabo Verde by a U.S.-contracted provider and described the incident as a humiliation.
- Spain allowed refueling at a military base, enabling the flight to continue to Riyadh after initial media reports wrongly located the denial in Madrid.
- Petro said Colombia will terminate the overseas fuel contract with the American supplier used by the Air Force for international refueling.
- Benedetti said a credit card was blocked after the listing, as Washington attributes the measures to drug-related facts without presenting public evidence.
