Trump threatens military operation against Colombia, after Venezuela raid

  • Trump told reporters ‍aboard Air Force ‍One, in an ‍apparent reference to Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE: US President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia’s government, telling reporters that such an operation “sounds good to ‌me.”
“Colombia is ‌very sick, ‌too, ⁠run ​by ‌a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he’s not going to be ⁠doing it very long,” ‌Trump told reporters ‍aboard Air Force ‍One, in an ‍apparent reference to Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro.
Asked directly whether the US would pursue ​a military operation against the country, Trump answered, “It sounds ⁠good to me.”
The comments came after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in an audacious raid and whisked him to New York to face drug-trafficking charges.
