Colombian President Gustavo Petro slammed GOP Rep. Carlos Gimenez for saying he had "signed his own sentence" by claiming that the Cartel de los Soles, which the Trump administration claims is being led by Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolas Maduro, doesn't exist.
"You don't have the right to sentence any president who has been elected through the popular vote in Latin America. You were able to sentence Pinochet, but he was an ally. I have the evidence showing who buys the Colombian cocaine that goes to Venezuela. And if the truth lands me in jail, then I'll go to prison," Petro said in a social media publication.
