#BREAKING | Former President Donald Trump has announced the cessation of all U.S. aid to Colombia, labeling President Gustavo Petro as an "illegal drug dealer." In a statement, Trump accused Petro of promoting extensive drug production across Colombia, which he claims has become the country"s largest business. He asserted that Petro is not taking adequate measures to combat this issue, despite receiving significant financial support from the United States.
Trump stated that, effective immediately, all payments, subsidies, or any other forms of financial assistance will no longer be provided to Colombia. He emphasized that the drug production is primarily aimed at supplying the U.S. market, resulting in widespread harm and chaos. Trump characterized Petro as an unpopular leader and warned that if he does not take action to dismantle these drug operations, the United States will intervene, threatening military action.
This announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about U.S. foreign aid and its effectiveness in combating drug trafficking in Colombia. The situation reflects broader concerns regarding the impact of drug production on both Colombian society and U.S. public health.
