Trump fires back at Colombian president after Petro’s big attack; ‘he’s a thug, he’s a bad guy…’

During a press briefing, President Donald Trump responded to a question about comments from Colombia’s president, who suggested Trump needed to be “gotten rid of” if he did not change his stance. Trump dismissed the remarks as a threat and strongly criticized Colombia’s leader, accusing him of creating a “death trap” in his country and facilitating the flow of cocaine into the United States via Mexico. The President announced that the U.S. has halted all payments to Colombia, both to the country and to Columbia University, stating that he views the Colombian president as a “thug” who is damaging his nation through poor governance and drug trafficking.
