According to the US president, “Colombia is very sick too” and “run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.”

“He has cocaine mills (sic) and cocaine factories. He’s not going to be doing it very long,” Trump added.

Asked if there was going to be a US military operation in Colombia, the US president said: “It sounds good to me.”

Immediately after Saturday’s military intervention in Venezuela, Trump told press that Petro had to “watch his ass.”
