US president says Colombia raid ‘sounds good’ after Venezuela attack

Trump claimed Bogota is “run by a sick man,” referring to Columbian President Gustavo Petro

US President Donald Trump has threatened Colombia with military action similar to last week’s raid on Venezuela.

Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday, Trump said Colombia is “run by a sick man,” referring to President Gustavo Petro, whom he labeled a “drug leader.” The US president suggested that Petro, whom he sanctioned last year, could be removed from power too.
