Trump threatens Colombia’s ‘illegal drug leader’ president as he promises US intervention ‘won’t be done nicely’

President Donald Trump accused Colombia’s president of being an ‘illegal drug dealer’ and threatened to have the US intervene if he doesn’t clean up his act.

Trump took to Truth Social Sunday morning with a scathing and lengthy post about Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro, warning that the process ‘won’t be done nicely.’

‘President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia [sic], is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia [sic],’ he wrote.

‘It has become the biggest business in Columbia [sic], by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America.’

Trump then said America is cutting off all subsidies to Colombia.

‘As of today, these payments, or any other form of payment, or subsidies, will no longer be made in Columbia [sic].

‘The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc.’

He went on to label Petro, who became president in 2022, ‘a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America.’

Trump said if the Colombian leader doesn’t ‘close up these killing fields immediately’ the US ‘will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.’
