Trump's now threatening the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro with military action. [View all]
Trump threatened Colombia and its president, Gustavo Petro, on Sunday night, saying it is “run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States.”
“He’s not going to be doing it for very long,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One. “He has cocaine mills and cocaine factories. He’s not going to be doing it.” Asked whether the U.S. would conduct an operation against Colombia, he said “it sounds good to me.”

He's apparently high on the attention he's getting form abducting Maduro and contemplating expanding beyond the borders of Venezuela.
They don't have oil, however. I'm guessing they're safe?
