Trump claimed that drug trafficking has become Colombia&#8217;s biggest business and criticized Petro for doing nothing to stop it despite U.S. subsidies.He warned that if Petro does not act, the U.S.will intervene aggressively. This follows a recent U.S. strike on a submarine carrying drugs, which killed two peopel, one of whom Petro described as an innocent fisherman, condemning the U.S. action as an invasion and violation of Colombian sovereignty. In response,trump labeled the deceased a &#8220;narcoterrorist.&#8221; The tension comes amid Petro&#8217;s low domestic approval ratings and previous conflicts with the U.S., including the revocation of his U.S. visa after a pro-Palestinian protest in New York.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump threatens to strike Colombian drug fields, cuts subsidies to country<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2376150\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3808977\/us-colombia-list-nations-cooperate-drug-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Donald Trump<\/a> doubled down on his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3856079\/trump-confirms-us-strike-drug-submarine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">recent strike against a submarine<\/a> by threatening to &ldquo;close&rdquo; the drug production fields in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/defense\/3843218\/petro-us-strike-colombian-boat-drug-vessel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Colombia<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/disney-ceo-bob-chapek-confirms-company-undertaking-massive-cost-cutting-measures\/\" title=\"Disney CEO Bob Chapek Confirms Company Undertaking Massive Cost-Cutting Measures\">massive production<\/a> of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia,&rdquo; Trump wrote on Truth Social on Sunday.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3856266\/afghanistan-pakistan-ceasefire-border-conflict\/\">Afghanistan and Pakistan pledge to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/afghanistan-and-pakistan-pledge-to-respect-ceasefire\/\" title=\"Afghanistan and Pakistan pledge to respect ceasefire\">respect ceasefire<\/a> after more than a week of deadly fighting<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3856214\/thieves-jewels-heist-louvre-napoleon\/\">Thieves steal jewels of &#8216;inestimable value&#8217; in seven-minute heist at Louvre<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/3856218\/israel-gaza-hamas-ceasefire-violation\/\">Israel strikes targets in Gaza after claiming Hamas violated ceasefire<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc.
