"Thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of cities across Colombia to decry Donald Trump's threats to expand his military campaign in South America into their territory, after last weekend's deadly attack on Venezuela. In Cucuta, a city on Colombia's eastern border with Venezuela, several hundred demonstrators marched towards its 19th century cathedral waving the country's yellow, blue and red flag and shouting: Fuera los yanquis! (Out with the Yanks!)"
"Venezuela's president, Nicolas Maduro, and first lady Cilia Flores were captured, while dozens of Cuban and Venezuelan bodyguards were killed, during the dramatic US special forces raid on a military base in Caracas. What happened in Venezuela was, in my opinion illegal, Petro told thousands of supporters who had gathered at a rally in Bolivar plaza in Colombia's capital, Bogota. In front of the stage a protester held a placard reading: Go to hell shitty yanks."
