At a news conference,Trump accused Petro of overseeing cocaine production in Colombia and said Petro &#8220;has to watch his a**,&#8221; repeating earlier claims that Petro is tolerating or encouraging large-scale drug trafficking and announcing U.S. payments and subsidies to colombia would stop.

The exchange came amid wider regional fallout: Secretary of State Marco Rubio suggested Cuba should be concerned about the raid, while Cuban president Miguel D\u00edaz-Canel denounced the U.S. action as &#8220;state terrorism&#8221; that undermines regional stability.  <\/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\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?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<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>President Donald Trump sent a warning to Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Saturday after Petro slammed the U.S. for removing Venezuelan dictator Nicol&aacute;s Maduro.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/petrogustavo\/status\/2007356950514729388\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">post on X<\/a>, Petro indicated his opposition to the attack that led to Maduro&rsquo;s capture.<\/p>\n<p>During Trump&rsquo;s Saturday news conference on the Venezuelan raid, the commander-in-chief was asked whether Petro should be nervous, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/live-news\/us-strikes-venezuela-maduro-captured-january-3-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Well, he has cocaine mills.
