Trump Threats to Colombia-Cuba: “Gustavo Petro Had Better Watch Out”

Donald Trump issued threats to Colombia and Cuba following the arrest of Nicolás Maduro. He warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro to “watch out,” referring to the production of cocaine in his country. He also hinted that Cuba could be a target of future US actions in the region. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Cuban government should be concerned. Colombia denounced the US raid as an “attack on sovereignty” of Latin America, while Cuba characterized it as “criminal” and accused the US of “state terrorism”.
