Colombian President Gustavo Petro again slammed U.S. counterpart Donald Trump over the sanctions against him and his family, saying on Wednesday they are "not only profoundly rude, but an insult to the Colombian nation, a humiliation."
"Advised by (Secretary of State Marco) Rubio and Rubio advised by his team in Florida, which received Colombian politicians who have familiar and personal ties with the cocaine mafia, have left an indelible mark, which, like the theft of Panama, will never be forgotten by the next generations of Colombians and Latin Americans," Petro said in a social media publication.
