In one year of attacks, 227 launchers have been killed by the US.One year after the United States launched military operations against boats accused of drug trafficking in the Caribbean and Pacific, 227 people have been killed, including civilians, according to Human Rights Watch. The U.S. conducted 69 attacks under the leadership of Secretary of 'War' Pete Hegseth, which critics argue violate international humanitarian law. These actions have drawn legal challenges, such as lawsuits filed by families of victims who believe their relatives were killed in drone strikes. Recent attacks occurred in August 2026, killing six individuals. Meanwhile, the U.S. has expanded its military cooperation through the American Coalition Against Cartels (A3C), involving 18 Latin American countries, including Colombia. This collaboration raises concerns about broader military involvement in the region.

SemanaIndependentCenterFactual 85Objective 808/30/2026Colombia is rapidly adopting artificial intelligence (AI), but its development capacity lags behind its usage rate. According to Rodrigo Peñailillo, regional manager for CAF (the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean), Latin America and the Caribbean account for 15–20% of global AI application downloads but receive just 1.12% of global investment. This disparity highlights a region that consumes AI technologies extensively but produces them at a much lower scale. In Colombia specifically, 24% of people actively used AI tools in 2025, double the figure from 2023, though most users are still considered learners rather than experts. While Colombia ranks fourth in the Latin American AI index, this ranking reflects infrastructure, talent, data, research, and governance capabilities, not just adoption rates. The gap between AI consumption and production has economic implications, with the U.S. projected to grow by 15% due to AI, compared to just 5% for Latin America and the Caribbean.
