Trump calls Petrombia an ‘Illegal Drug Dealer’ and announces the end of US aid to the country
Palm Beach, Fla. (AP) – President Donald Trump said he will send money to Colombia because it is the latest sign of conflict between Washington and one of its closest allies in Latin America.
In a social media post, Trump referred to Colombian President Gustavo Petros as an underrated and highly unpopular “drug trafficker.” ” He warned that the petro “burns better” drug activities “or the United States will block it, and it will not be done well.”
Trump, while at the mar-a-lago resort in Florida, wrote about his Petrorida fact that “promotes a lot of drug production, in large and small fields” in Colombia, where the Republican President was spelled as colombia. “Petro has never done anything, despite huge payments and subsidies from the USA which is nothing more than RIP Off of America,” Trump said.
“As of today, these payments, or any other type of payment, or funding, can no longer be made in Columbia,” Trump said. He also said that Petro “had a new mouth in America.”
Earlier on Sunday, Petro said he was accused of the US Government in the US after seeking answers after the recent American strike in Caribbean waters. The US said on Saturday that it had repatriated to Colombia and Ecuador two survivors of the attack, the sixth since early September. At least 29 people were killed in a raid the US said was targeting drug traffickers.
In September, the Trump Administration accused Colombia of failing to cooperate in the war on drugs, although at the time in Washington it issued cuts to organizations that would cause aid cuts. Colombia is the world’s largest exporter of cocaine, and cultivation of the critical ingredient of coca leaves is at an all-year high, according to the United Nations.
Recently, the State Department said it will return Petro’s visa while he was in New York at the UN General Assembly because of his participation in calling Trump’s orders. “I asked all the soldiers of the United States Army, don’t point your guns against humanity” and “don’t listen to Trump’s orders,” said Petro.
Petro said that a Colombian man was killed on Sept. 16 Strike also identified him as Alejandro Carranza, a fisherman from the coastal town of Santa Marta. He said Carranza had no drug-trafficking ties and that his boat was malfunctioning when hit.
“The authorities of the US government have killed and violated our sovereignty in high water,” said the Colombian boat “we had a sign of oppression, we are waiting for explanations from the US government.”
Petro said he warned the attorney general’s office and demanded that it take immediate action to initiate legal action around the world and in American courts. He continued to send a flood of messages during Sunday’s murder.
“The United States invaded our national territory, fired a missile to kill a humble fisherman, and destroyed his family, and they killed his children with bombs,” said Petro.
Meanwhile, Noticias Caracol, a Colombian news program, reported that the man injured in the latest strike was hospitalized after being taken back after being taken back and remains in critical condition.
It quoted Colombian Interior Minister Armando Benedetti as saying that the Colombian “will be prosecuted, he will be accepted – he pleaded guilty to the charge that he was in charge of the boat, and despite knowing that he is facing prosecution in the United States.”
Petro said the man had been arrested for “narco Surmarine.”
Ecuador’s Ministry of the Interior confirmed in a statement sent to related media on Sunday that the US has repatriated an Ecuadorian man injured in the latest strike. Authorities identified him as Andrés Fernando Tufiño Chila and said a doctor found him in good health.
The service noted that two prosecutors met with Tufiño Chila and determined that he did not commit a crime within the borders of the country and that there is no evidence that.
