Colombia sees ‘real threat’ of US military action, president tells BBC

Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro has told the BBC that he believes there is now a “real threat” of US military action against Colombia.

Petro said the US is treating other nations as part of a US “empire”. It comes after Trump said a military operation in Colombia “sounds good”. Petro said that the US risks transforming from “dominating the world” to becoming “isolated from the world.”

He also accused US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents of acting like “Nazi brigades”.
