Trump threatens Petro: "You better be careful"

The U.S. President, Donald Trump, threatened his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, this Monday, after accusing him again without presenting evidence of being part of the international drug trade.

"They make cocaine in Colombia, he is not a friend of the U.S., he is a bad guy. He better be careful", Trump underlined in a press conference with the secretaries of War, Pete Hegseth; and of State, Marco Rubio.

After being asked by a journalist about Petro, whom he called a "troublemaker", he assured that there are "at least three cocaine factories" in the South American country. "It will be better if he closes them quickly", he warned.
