According to Trump's statements, the US president maintains that Petro would be facilitating the growth of the illicit cocaine business through the lack of concrete actions to combat it. Trump went further by stating that the Colombian president not only allows the expansion of drug production and export to the United States, but also would be incurring in a systematic deception to the North American country.
