US President Donald Trump on Sunday suggested that a military operation against Colombia “sounds good to me,” escalating tensions in the region following the dramatic US raid that captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. His remarks were reported by multiple international outlets, including The Straits Times and The Indian Express.
Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said:“Colombia is very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he’s not going to be doing it very long.”
The comment was widely interpreted as a reference to Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
When asked directly whether the United States was considering a military operation against Colombia, Trump replied:
“It sounds good to me.”
These statements came shortly after the United States conducted a high‑risk operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, transporting him to New York to face drug‑trafficking charges.
