A truckers union in Peru has declared an indefinite strike from Monday after failed negotiations with President Pedro Castillo's government over fuel prices.

Peru's government confirmed Sunday that an agreement could not be reached after three days of talks with the country's heavy haulers and drivers union.

Consumer inflation in Peru has spiked in recent months, with the current year-on-year rate at more than 8 percent, far higher than the government's target of 3.5 percent. "We are going to strike anyway," Marlon Milla, the truckers union chief, said on a local television channel.
