🇺🇸🇨🇴⚡️- "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 Trump.

🇺🇸🇨🇴⚡️- "On October 17th, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with Ejército de Liberación Nacional (ELN), a Designated Terrorist Organization, that was operating in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

These cartels are the Al Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere, using violence, murder and terrorism to impose their will, threaten our national security and poison our people. The United States military will treat these organizations like the terrorists they are—they will be hunted, and killed, just like Al Qaeda."
- U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

🇺🇸🇨🇴⚡- "I respect the history, culture, and people of the United States. They are not my enemies, nor do I consider them that way.

The problem is with Trump, not with the United States.

Trump simply doesn't understand how millions of young Americans could go and fight for what seemed like an alien cause: the war in Europe.

Many fought and died there; those young people knew why they were fighting.

They were fighting for humanity. Trump doesn't understand the concept of humanity," - Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia.

🇺🇸🇨🇴⚡- "Mr. Trump, Colombia has never been rude to the US; on the contrary, it has deeply loved its culture.

But you are rude and ignorant toward Colombia. I don't do business like you do. I am a socialist. I believe in aid and the common good, and in the common goods of humanity, the greatest of all: life, endangered by its oil.

I'm not a businessman, much less a drug trafficker, there is no greed in my heart. I could never relate to greed. A mobster is a human being who embodies the best of capitalism: greed. I am the opposite: a lover of life and therefore a millennial warrior of life. Greed eludes us, because life is more powerful," - Gustavo Petro, President of Colombia.
