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.
Another leverage for Putin.
I explain.
Trump goes against Maduro - Venezuela ends up singing a 10y cooperation deal with Russia.
Now Colombia, part of BRICS-led New Development Bank, whose president is pro Russia to begin with. It gives Putin a leverage to be the "mediator" who ends up on top.
