Any country facilitating the trafficking of drugs into theUnited States could face an American strike, US President Donald Trump warnedon Tuesday.
Speaking at a White House meeting with his administrationteam, Trump specifically cited cocaine smuggling from Colombia, saying that anygroup involved in sending drugs to the US would be “subject to attack.”
The remarks come as the United States continues what itcalls anti-drug operations in the Caribbean and Pacific regions.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro warned that any US strikeon his country would amount to “a declaration of war”.
In a post on X, Petro invited Trump to visit Colombia andjoin security forces in destroying drug‑processing sites. “Come to Colombia,Mr. Trump. I invite you to help destroy the nine laboratories we eliminateevery day to prevent cocaine from reaching the United States,” he wrote.
Petro said Colombian authorities have destroyed 18,400laboratories during his two terms “without missiles,” adding, “I will show youhow a laboratory is destroyed every 40 minutes.”
He cautioned Trump against threatening Colombia’ssovereignty, saying such a stance would “awaken the tiger” and harm “twocenturies of diplomatic relations.”
Petro added that his reputation had already been damaged byearlier accusations and urged US politicians not to continue on that path. Hestressed that if any country has worked to prevent thousands of tons of cocainefrom reaching the United States, “it is Colombia.”
