BOGOTA, Jan 5 (Reuters) - Colombia will continue to work with the United States in fighting drug trafficking using Washington’s intel and technology, two officials from the South American nation said on Monday.

The announcement from Interior Minister Armando Benedetti and Justice Minister Andres Idarraga came a day after U.S. President Donald Trump called his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro “sick” and admitted the possibility of a U.S. military operation in the country.
