The National Police of Colombia announce the seizure of 14 tons of cocaine at the port of Buenaventura, in Valle del Cauca. Authorities say this is the largest cocaine bust in “the last decade.” The discovery in the world’s largest cocaine-producing country comes as the White House pressures Colombian President Gustavo Petro through financial sanctions and by removing Colombia from the list of allied nations in the war on drugs as it deems its anti-drug policies to be insufficient.
