"Colombian President Gustavo Petro challenged President Donald Trump on Monday to come get me, one day after Trump said Petro's days running the Latin American country are numbered. I'm waiting for you here, Petro continued. Don't threaten me, I'll wait for you right here if you want to. His response came after Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Petro could soon suffer the same fate as recently-captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro."
"Trump said Petro's country is doing terribly, just like Venezuela, because it is being run by a drug dealer. Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, Trump said. And he's not going to be doing it for very long, let me tell ya. NewsNation's Libbey Dean then asked the president, So there will be an operation by the U.S. in Colombia? Sounds good to me, Trump responded."
Colombian President Gustavo Petro challenged President Donald Trump to 'come get me' after Trump said Petro's days running the country are numbered. Petro said he will wait in Colombia and rejected threats, refusing invasions, missiles, or assassinations and requesting intelligence-based, face-to-face talks. Trump accused Petro of running Colombia like a drug dealer and likened the country to Venezuela, saying Petro would not be in power for long. Trump suggested a possible U.S. operation in Colombia. The exchange follows a year-long verbal feud, includes U.S. military strikes on suspected Latin American drug boats, and has drawn political criticism.
