US President Donald Trump on Saturday warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro — with whom he has had recent confrontations — to “watch his ass” following a US military operation aimed at capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.
“He’s making cocaine and they’re sending it into the United States, so he does have to watch his ass,” Trump said while addressing a press conference.
In response, Petro condemned Washington’s move, describing it as an “assault on the sovereignty” of Latin America and cautioning that the action could trigger a humanitarian crisis in the region.
