4. Zaczyna się wzajemna wymiana błota, kiedy poszczególne gminy, który już dołożyły się do projektu, odkrywają, że No…

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.

Trump orders blockade of oil tankers into Venezuela
