U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro to “be careful or face military invasion” following American forces’ alleged entry into Venezuela & the reported capture of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife.
The threat was made in a video shared by BRICS News on X.com on Saturday. Trump defended his stance by citing alleged cocaine production in Colombia, saying, “He has cocaine mills, he has factories where he makes cocaine… they’re sending it into the United States, so he does have to be watchful.”
Earlier, President Petro expressed concern over the U.S. operation in Venezuela, posting on X that Colombia “observes with deep concern the reports of explosions and unusual aerial activity recorded in recent hours in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, as well as the consequent escalation of tension in the region.”
The incident underscores rising tensions between the U.S. and regional governments, raising alarms over potential instability in Venezuela and neighboring countries.
