International tensions closer to home are rising as the U.S. military continues striking alleged drug traffickers in the Caribbean. Just days ago, President Trump vowed to cut off aid to Colombia—accusing its president of being an “illegal drug leader.”
Colombian President Gustavo Petro rejected Trump’s accusations, describing himself as the main enemy of drugs in his country. A statement from the Colombian Foreign Ministry called the comments “a direct threat to national sovereignty.” Still, President Trump is not backing down.
“They make drugs. They refine drugs. They make cocaine. They have cocaine factories. They have no fight against drugs,” President Trump told reporters.

What BS 🐒
Everything is about oil in the area. Colombia n Venezuela 🇻🇪 have more oil than the intared world. N
Lets invade !!!!
The problem with the drugs are USA drugs consumers problem The problem is here in the USA stop blaming other countries for the drug problem here in the USA
Trump loves the publicity, stand down or pop manduo.
Don't let the corrupt shitfucks (the dems and media lackies) stop you sir. You are saving the lives of 100,000 American young people annually with your war on fentanyl, something the dems accepted as collateral damage in return for 30 million illegal immigrants (that's how the dems got the fentynal into the country) that they then counted in the census resulting in 30 extra seats in the house and as many electoral votes. Each dem has to independently examine their conscience and determine whether they feel it was worth it. As the are mostly possessed by demons, I imagine most are ok with what they traded for political power.
BOYCOTT USA
STOP Z¡ONIST/MASONIC "¡SRAEL¡" / USA / UK/ FRANCE/ETC IMPERIALIST TERRORISM, DECEIT, AND CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY. BOYCOTT EVERYTHING "¡SRAEL¡" AND ANYTHING RELATED
DECEITFUL Z¡ONIST/ MASONIC USA ALONG WITH ITS MASTER "¡srae|" HAS BEEN COMMITTING GENOCIDE AND FORCED STARVATION. HOW SOON YOU FORGET!
question: If USA has 7 military bases in Colombia because the have war against the drug and drug dealers, why that business doesn't stop?
I can think, it happens because they help the drug dealers, or they are part of the business
Chiquita.
Chiquita.
They have killed hundreds of thousands of Americans with their poison,time to wipe them out
I would never think a so-called Christian broadcast network would not speak out against people indiscriminately being killed
Trump is simply retaliating against Petro after Colombia's president's condemnations exposing Trump and Netanyahu for their crimes against Palestinians
Well, at least he got the right country now.
Leave it to the left and the media to maniacally defend drug cartels and mules. Absolutely disgusting filth.
Why is that the US government never arrest drug lords in US territory? Who’s receiving that drug in US soil?
Was it worth the same as a $400 million jet from a 7th century death cult terrorist sponsor? Or Qatari pilot training in Idaho for another 9/11?
The message is simple, quit sending your dope to our country. Too many countries have made billions for decades doing it, and yes many Americans and politicians are to blame along with these countries. However, we have the right to say no more. Find a better way to make a living
Dont care
HUNGER OF AMERICA IS INCREASING EVERY DAY WHICH IS THREAT TO OTHER NATIONS.
DIVIDE AND RULE POLICY.
AMERICA IS MAKING SLAVE TO ALL PEOPLE BOYCOTT THIS SYSTEM.
Don't buy into the propaganda. This is about Venezuela OIL NOT Drugs.
There are a lot of tools that can be used to stop drug boats. Lasers, directed sound devices, even a net. The net would be interesting; set them up using robotic drone seacraft that intercept the drug boats. Once the drug boat becomes ensnared, deflate the bouys that keep the net floating and let a set of concrete-filled 55 gallon drums take the boat underwater. You know, James Bond meets Mafia stuff.
No explosion, no mess. And the drug runners can be rescued and returned to their home countries.
NO aid and time to block their access.
This is a REAL war against drugs. 💖💖💖
Columbia has been running he cocaine game for a long time
Thank you President Trump.
Go after South America Venezuela , Colombia and Mexico..Most important Colombia per this country has been the one contaminating the world with drugs
jokes on us its actually just a few people trying to give the drugs to us so that we can hold it so it doesn't fall into peoples hands that want to sell it so they desperately go into the water just for trump to blow them up instead of using the coast guard like he should be doing.
Keep blowing the boats President Trump
I ❤ DRUGS
Everybody know Petro Colombia president has same ideology from Venezuela. Give white flag to narcos to bring more insecurity to Colombian Citizen. And collaborate with narcos.
We don’t need to know their name America 🇺🇸
Not alleged.. Fentynal epjdemic in US.. Were does it come from ? Don't fish in international waters now.. Fish someware else.. Cartel needs to sell dope to keep the money flowing.. 😐
He cant wait to start his verry own WAR.
Trump mad real
Trump is the best
This is Positive Less Drugs Drugs More Expensive More Crime in Melanerica More Profit for Colombia
CARTELS ARE PIZZED – SO ARE HEADS OF COLUMBIA, MEXICO & VENEZUELLA PIZZED – THEIR "KICK-BACKS" IN $$ HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS ARE "DRYING UP"!! AND IF LEADERS OF COLUMBIA, MEX & VENEZUEALA " EXPOSE CARTELS” THEY END UP IN A DUMPSTER, IN 2 PIECES. IT’S "MANDATORY” ALL DRUG FARMS & FACTORIES BE BOMBED TO DUST!!!
Show us the drugs!! Show us the proof that murder is justified.
These useless news anchors sound like they’re sticking up for Columbia not America. Fake news working at its best either locked up the CEO and these anchors.
Columbia has been the main source of Cocaine for decades 😳. We learned that in Jr. High School. 😮
Żydowski Hitler jak Żeleński, Nateniachu !
Venezuela is NOT a big drug supplier. Trump is lying and MAGA drinks it up.
This is about OIL. And China.
Get the government open mr trump
This is nothing more than the CIA wanting control of the cartels' drug money. Just like it was in Afghanistan. Use the U.S. taxpayers' money to fund a government war over control. All that money is leaving the US to Mexico. Billions in drug money, the US wants control. It has nothing to do with saving Americans' lives. The drugs will continue just like always, but cheaper.
Leave Colombia 🇨🇴 N Venezuela 🇻🇪 already all the u.s has done is chaos what he needs to do is show the damm FILES ALREADY N CUT THE BS TRUMP …..
