Highlights
  • The United States will slash assistance to Colombia because its leader, Gustavo Petro, does nothing to stop drug production, President Donald Trump said Sunday, escalating the friction between Washington and one of its closest allies in Latin America.
  • In a social media post, Trump referred to Petro as an “illegal drug leader” who is “low rated and very unpopular,” warning Petro to close drug operations or the United States will do so for him.
  • The Colombian Foreign Ministry described Trump’s statement as a direct threat to national sovereignty by proposing an illegal intervention in Colombian territory, signaling ongoing diplomatic tensions.
