The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, assured that the main enemy that drug trafficking had in Colombia was the discovery of its relations with the political power of Colombia
The president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, affirmed this Sunday that his American counterpart, Donald Trump, “is deceived” by considering him “a drug trafficking leader.” Well, he said that what he has done throughout his career is precisely to denounce drug mafias.
«Trump is deceived by his lodges and advisors. The main enemy that drug trafficking had in Colombia was in the 21st century, which discovered its relations with the political power of Colombia. “That was me,” Petro wrote in X after Trump announced that he was cutting off financial aid to Colombia for its inaction in the fight against drug trafficking.
The US president today referred to Petro as “a drug trafficking leader who encourages the massive production of drugs, both in large and small fields, throughout Colombia.” This is a new chapter in the differences between the two due to Washington’s military deployment in the Caribbean, near Venezuela. In which they have shot down at least six boats that were supposedly carrying drugs, leaving nearly 30 dead.
