Colombian President Vows Armed Resistance if U.S. Invades

Colombian President Gustavo Petro says he would take up arms to defend his country if the United States invades. This sharp warning follows a direct threat from U.S. President Donald Trump. Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump suggested possible military action against Colombia. He claimed the country is "run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States." The exchange raises tensions between the nations. It comes after recent U.S. military action in Venezuela to remove its leader, Nicolás Maduro, from power. President Petro's statement signals a readiness for armed conflict in response to any U.S. attack.
