Trump made the statement during a press briefing at his Mar-a-Lago resort, citing Maduro’s alleged involvement in cocaine production and distribution into the United States as justification for the warning. “Well, he has cocaine mills, he has factories where he makes cocaine, and yeah, I think I stick by my first statement. He’s making cocaine, they’re sending it into the United States, so he does have to watch his ass,” Trump said.
The remark comes amid months of tense relations between Washington and Bogotá, with both leaders previously exchanging pointed criticisms. In response, President Petro condemned the U.S. operation, describing it as an “assault on the sovereignty” of Latin American nations. He cautioned that the military action could spark a humanitarian crisis and destabilize the region.
The Colombian government also announced measures to strengthen its 2,219-kilometre eastern border with Venezuela, citing heightened security concerns following the U.S. intervention. Reports indicate unusual aerial activity and explosions in Venezuela, further escalating tensions in the region.
The arrest of Maduro has drawn widespread attention across Latin America, with several governments expressing apprehension over the potential impact on regional peace, diplomacy, and political stability.
