Trump halts "as of today" the "substantial payments and subsidies" from the U.S. to Colombia

https://sn-esp.site/JgLD

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump

Trump confirms he will impose new tariffs on Colombia, amid the escalation of the conflict with Gustavo Petro.

🇪🇨⚠️ Ecuador releases one of the survivors of the U.S. attack on a ‘narcosubmarine’ in the Caribbean

Ecuador released Andrés Fernando Tufiño, a survivor of the U.S. attack on a narcosubmarine on October 16 in the Caribbean. The Ecuadorian Prosecutor's Office determined that there was insufficient evidence to charge him. Tufiño had been captured by the U.S. Navy and deported to Ecuador after the bombing, which left two survivors: Tufiño and Colombian Jeison Obando Pérez.

President Daniel Noboa reaffirmed Ecuador's commitment against drug trafficking and illegal mining. Pérez, on the other hand, remains under medical observation in Colombia, and his prosecution is pending. This attack is part of a series of extrajudicial operations initiated by the U.S. in international Caribbean waters, focused on vessels with alleged drug transport from Venezuela.
