President Gustavo Petro warned the United States not to attack Colombia in response to a threat by the conservative US Senator Lindsay Graham.

In a post on social media platform X, Petro said that “the Colombian people, every time they are attacked anywhere, en masse head to the mountains and arm themselves” to become “invisible like the jaguar with passionate stealth.”

“Don’t try it, that’s the only advise I give,” said the president, “because I know the history of my people and I am… the legitimate son of my people.”
