Gustavo Petro claimed that Colombia and Venezuela could be "turned into Syria" because outside forces "care about nothing but greed" as he continues to slam the Trump administration over its military campaign in the region.
"The oligarchs say I want to maintain a dictatorship in Venezuela or share narcos' profit. No, people. Bolivar's sword was never dipped in cocaine. The power is not ours but the peoples' and the time has come for the people in the Americas," Petro said in a social media publication.
