Colombia: US Bombed Cocaine Factory in Venezuela

The President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, stated that the United States bombed a cocaine factory in the coastal city of Maracaibo, Venezuela. This statement follows confirmation from Donald Trump that the US struck a vessel mooring area in Venezuela used for drug trafficking. Petro estimated that the facility belonged to the ELN rebel organization, which partially controls the cocaine-producing region near the border with Venezuela.
