President Donald Trump gave a warning to Colombian President Gustavo Petro as the U.S. continues to escalate its military campaign against Venezuela's authoritarian President Nicolás Maduro and ongoing tensions with Bogotá over drug-trafficking allegations.
Asked at the White House whether he plans to speak with Petro, Trump dismissed the possibility, saying the Colombian leader "has been quite hostile toward the United States." He added: "I hope he's listening. He will be next," in reference to his current pressure on neighboring Venezuela.
