60-Second Summary

The United States will slash funding to Colombia, President Donald Trump said, accusing President Gustavo Petro of failing to curb drug production and warning Washington could 'close up' operations itself. Tensions deepened as Petro accused the US of violating Colombian sovereignty and killing fisherman Alejandro Carranza in a September strike at sea. Trump also confirmed a separate Caribbean attack on a 'drug-carrying submarine,' saying two suspects survived and were repatriated to Ecuador and Colombia. The strike was reported as the sixth this year; the administration says 27 people have been killed.
