Trump says Petro is a "thug" and a "bad guy" who manufactures "a lot of drugs"

Washington.- U.S. President Donald Trump asserted this Wednesday that his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, is a "thug and a bad guy" and accused him of manufacturing "a lot of drugs", days after accusing him of being a "drug trafficking leader". "He's a thug, he's a bad man and he's producing a lot of drugs. They have cocaine factories," the president accused the press. As diplomatic tensions rise, Trump does not yield and again threatens Colombia and its president: "He should be careful or we will take very severe measures against him and his country," he warned.
