President Donald Trump announced Sunday he would end all US payments and subsidies to Colombia, marking a dramatic escalation in his back-and-forth with the country's president, Gustavo Petro. Trump said in a post to social media that Petro "does nothing to stop" the production of drugs in his country, "despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America." "As of today, these payments, or any other form of payment, or subsidies, will no longer be made to Colombia," the president said in all caps. |
