On Jan 4, 2026, aboard Air Force One 🛩️, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a stark warning to Colombian President Gustavo Petro, declaring that Petro "is not going to be doing it for very long."
When reporters asked about the possibility of a U.S. military operation against Colombia, Trump replied, "It sounds good to me." The comments came just a day after Petro on Jan 3 called for an urgent meeting of the Organization of American States and the United Nations to address what he described as a U.S. attack on Venezuela 🤔
Trump, referring to Colombia as "run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States," accused the president of running "cocaine mills and cocaine factories" without offering evidence 😳
This exchange follows a Politico interview last month in which President Trump said he would consider extending military operations against targets in other countries, including Mexico and Colombia 🗞️
The escalating rhetoric has raised eyebrows across the Americas, with many watching closely to see if these threats will translate into action or diplomatic fallout 👀
