Donald Trump stops funding to Colombia, calls President Gustavo Petro ‘drug dealer’

In a post on his social media platform, Trump referred to Petro as “an illegal drug dealer” who is “low rated and very unpopular.”

The attack on the Latin American nation comes amid escalating friction between the two nations and at a time when the White House administration has repeatedly accused Colombia of failing to cooperate in the drug war.

In a recent post on Truth Social, Trump accused President Gustavo Petro of encouraging the “massive production of drugs, in big and small fields,” across Colombia, while calling him an “illegal drug dealer.”
