President Gustavo Petro “is going to get into big trouble if he doesn’t get his act together,” declared US President Donald Trump on Wednesday about his Colombian counterpart, who criticizes Washington’s policy in Latin America.

If Petro doesn’t open his eyes, “he’ll be next,” Trump told the press. “I hope he’s listening,” he added. When asked if he would be willing to call him, as he has already done with Venezuelan regime leader Nicolas Maduro, the White House leader responded that he hadn’t “given much thought about it.” “Colombia is a major drug producer, that is, of cocaine,” the Republican president reminded everyone. As part of the military offensive against drug trafficking in the Caribbean and the Pacific, Trump has stated several times that ground attacks against “narco-terrorists” will come “very soon,” both in Venezuelan territory and in other countries. This Wednesday, the Republican president also revealed that the United States seized a “large” oil tanker off the Venezuelan coast, although without giving further details, emphasizing that it was “the largest ever seized,” amid growing tensions between Washington and Caracas. “And there are other things happening, you’ll see them later,” the White House leader said. to journalists at the start of a round table discussion with business leaders and high-ranking officials.
