Donald Trump said Sunday, the United States will slash assistance to Colombia because its leader, Gustavo Petro,
“does nothing to stop” drug production"
The U.S. president warned that Petro “better close up” drug operations “or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely.”
Hours later, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the latest U.S. strik…

Trump announces an end to US aid to Colombia
It's a war of words between President Donald Trump and Colombian leader Gustavo Petro over illegal drugs, with hundreds of millions of dollars in American aid hanging in the balance. Trump says he'll slash U.S. assistance and enact tariffs because Colombia's leftist president “does nothing to stop” drug production and is an “illegal drug leader.” Petro is rejecting the accusations and defending his work to fight narcotics in Colombia, the world’s largest exporter of cocaine.

'The victim of the strike was identified by Petro as Alejandro Carranza, a Colombian fisherman from the coastal town of Santa Marta. He was ... killed when US forces fired at his boat on 15 September.
“Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing,” Petro wrote. “The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

As Enrique Peñalosa, former mayor of Bogotš, said (and Gustavo Petro repeated):
“An advanced city is not one where the poor can get around by car, but one where even the rich use public transportation.” sfba.social/@markmetz/11549363

@augieray@mastodon.social This illustrates what can happen when a community has good public transit. People who can easily drive, or be driven around, find it easier to get place to place using public transit. Almost like most every city in Europe!

Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia,
telling reporters that such an operation "sounds good to me."
"Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States,
and he's not going to be doing it very long,"
Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro.

the president of columbia is currently giving relationship advice on x dot com

Gustavo Petro, translated from Spanish: There are two things I've learned in life: not to go to bed with a woman from whom nothing is born in my heart, and not to buy sex when I'm still capable of seduction and poetry. You always have to combine sexuality with culture; that's what's called eroticism. I advise you of that. Now, if you manage to make your energy and that of the universe flow through every cell of your partner, you achieve, I believe, the maximum vital possibility of the human be…

Gustavo Petro @petrogustavo on X:
"U.S. government officials have committed murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters.
Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to drug trafficking and his daily activity was fishing.
The Colombian boat was drifting and had a distress signal on because it had one engine up.
We await explanations from the US government."
