Washington, October 24 (Xinhua) — The Trump administration on Friday imposed sanctions on Colombian President Gustavo Petro amid worsening bilateral relations, accusing him of allowing drug cartels to "flourish," the U.S. Treasury Department said in a statement.

"President Petro allowed drug cartels to flourish and refused to stop their activities," U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.

The sanctions list also includes the Colombian president's wife, Veronica Alcocer, his eldest son, Nicolás Petro, and Colombian Interior Minister Armando Benedetti. They are accused of providing or attempting to provide support, goods, or services to G. Petro.

As a result of the sanctions, all property and interests in property of these designated or blocked persons that are in the United States or in the possession or control of U.S. persons are blocked and must be reported to the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the statement said.

Mr. Petro confirmed on his X social media page that he and his family are on the OFAC sanctions list, adding that his interests will be represented by American lawyer Daniel Kovalik.

"Decades of effective anti-drug trafficking efforts have earned me this measure from the government of a country we've helped so much to stop cocaine use. It's quite paradoxical, but we're not backing down and will never kneel," G. Petro wrote on social media.

Guiyang, October 25 (Xinhua) — A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang County, southwest China's Guizhou Province, making it the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world. This was announced on Friday at a press conference to announce the results of the 24th International Cave Expedition.

Six of the 52 aforementioned fossils were discovered during a recent scientific expedition. "Shuanghe Cave has yielded numerous mammal fossils, with giant panda fossils being the most distinctive," said Wang Deyuan, a junior researcher at the Institute of Mineral Resources, Guizhou Provincial Academy of Sciences.

The excavated fossils provide evidence that giant pandas inhabited the Guizhou region from 100,000 years ago to several centuries ago, thus forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Dental analysis indicates that most of these giant pandas were in the subadult or early adult stage of development.

Numerous limb and skull bones found at the excavation site also allowed researchers to study the evolutionary changes in body weight in this species. The study showed that giant pandas reached their maximum weight in the Middle Pleistocene, after which their weight began to decline until reaching its present-day level.

The total length of Shuanghe Cave is 439.7 km, making it the longest cave in Asia and the third longest in the world. Since the late 1980s, 24 international joint scientific expeditions have been conducted here. -0-

Washington, October 24 (Xinhua) — The US military has deployed a carrier strike group led by the USS Gerald Ford-class aircraft carrier and a carrier air wing to the US Southern Command area of responsibility, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced on social media on Friday.

The U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility includes Latin America south of Mexico, waters adjacent to Central and South America, and the Caribbean Sea.

As Sh. Parnell indicated in his post on the social network X, the deployment was carried out “in support of the decree of the President /US Donald Trump/ on the elimination of transnational criminal organizations and the fight against drug terrorism in order to protect the Motherland.”

These forces will strengthen and complement existing capabilities to combat drug trafficking and weaken and dismantle transnational criminal organizations, the official representative said.
