Former President Gustavo Petro reveals why he was included in the Clinton list and says he had no idea what it was

Former Colombian President Gustavo Petro revealed during an interview in Mexico that he was included in the U.S. Treasury's 'Clinton List,' which targets individuals associated with narcotics trafficking. Petro claimed he had no knowledge of the list until recently and described it as part of a broader persecution against progressive leaders who advocate for Palestinian interests. He accused U.S. authorities of using false narratives to undermine his political stance, particularly after he spoke out against the Israeli actions in Palestine. Petro also mentioned a conversation with former U.S. President Donald Trump, which he called 'magical,' suggesting there were divisions within the U.S. leadership. The Colombian Senate authorized Petro's travel to Mexico in August, allowing him to leave the country for a year without issues.
