The US president has also accused Colombia and specifically its president of being complicit in the drugs trade.
But Gustavo Petro has announced that his navy just seized 27 tons of cocaine in collaboration with several other countries.
Danny Eberhardt has more details.
One photo, published by Colombia's presidency, shows piles of clingfilm-wrapped packages said to be seized cocaine.
Another shows large blocks wrapped in bin liners unloaded at a Pacific quayside.
President Petro said one joint operation with European police saw 18 tonnes of cocaine seized off the Canary Islands in the Atlantic.
He said that, separately, nine tons were seized from several boats in the Pacific in operations carried out in conjunction with Australia, Panama, Costa Rica and El Salvador.
In total, Mr Petro said about 20 people had been arrested, but stressed that not a single person had been killed.
It's likely a barbed reference to the US policy of hitting alleged drug-smuggling vessels with airstrikes, leading to more than 100 deaths since September.
Mr Petro has accused the US of carrying out murders.
