Colombian President Gustavo Petro warned President Donald Trump against attacking Colombia’s sovereignty after the US leader said that any country trafficking drugs into the United States is “subject to attack.”
“Do not threaten our sovereignty, because you will awaken the Jaguar. Attacking our sovereignty is declaring war,” Petro said on X, responding to comments Trump made on Tuesday, which referred to Colombia.
Trump did not explicitly say the US would carry out an attack on Colombia, but he did name that country when asked to elaborate on potential land strikes against drug traffickers.
“If they come in through a certain country, or any country, or if we think they’re building mills for – whether it’s fentanyl or cocaine. I hear Colombia, the country of Colombia is making cocaine. They have cocaine manufacturing plants … anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack,” Trump said earlier on Tuesday.
In his response, Petro invited Trump to Colombia so he could see first-hand the country’s efforts to disrupt drug trafficking. “If there is a country that has helped stop thousands of tons of cocaine so that North Americans do not consume it, it is Colombia,” Petro said.
