"He's been fairly hostile to the United States and I haven't given a lot of thought. He's gonna have himself some big problems if he doesn't wise up. Did he say Colombia's producing a lot of drugs? They have cocaine factories that they make cocaine, as you know, and they sell it right into the United States. So he better wise up or he'll be next."
"In October, Trump similarly blasted Petro and threatened serious action against Colombia. He's hurt his country very badly, they're doing very poorly, Colombia, the president said at the time. They make cocaine they have cocaine factories. They grow all sorts of crap that's drugs, bad drugs coming into the United States, goes generally through Mexico. And he better watch it, or we'll take very serious action against him and his country."
President Donald Trump warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro that he could be next in U.S. enforcement actions aimed at stopping alleged drug smuggling through the Caribbean. Trump defended U.S. strikes on suspected drug boats as necessary because the vessels allegedly head to the United States and pose a direct threat. Trump accused Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro of orchestrating the smuggling operations. He characterized Petro as hostile and previously labeled him a thug, threatening serious action in October. Trump alleged that Colombia operates cocaine factories and produces large quantities of cocaine that are funneled into the United States, contributing to drug-related deaths.
