President Trump has also threatened military action against Colombia, Cuba, Greenland, Iran and Mexico, following the U.S. attack on Venezuela. Speaking to reporters Sunday aboard Air Force One, Trump specifically targeted Colombian President Gustavo Petro and claimed without evidence that Petro was trafficking cocaine into the U.S.
President Donald Trump: “We have a very sick neighbor. It’s not a neighbor, but it’s close to a neighbor. And that’s Venezuela. It’s very sick. Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. And he’s not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you.”
Reporter 1: “What does that mean? He’s not going to be doing it very long?”
President Donald Trump: “He’s not doing it very long. He has cocaine mills and cocaine factories. He’s not going to be doing it very long.”
Reporter 1: “So, there will be an operation by the U.S. in Colombia?”
President Donald Trump: “It sounds good to me. Yeah.”
Reporter 2: “Secretary Rubio mentioned Cuba yesterday.”
President Donald Trump: “You know why? Because they kill a lot of people. Yeah.”
In a series of lengthy posts on X, Colombian President Petro blasted President Trump, saying, “Stop slandering me, Mr. Trump.” Petro called on Latin America to unite against the U.S., saying that the region risks being “treated as a servant and slave.”
