Trump Threatens Colombia and Cuba After Maduro's Arrest

Donald Trump threatened Colombian President Gustavo Petro, warning him to “be careful” after the arrest of Nicolas Maduro, citing the existence of cocaine factories in Colombia. He also suggested that Cuba could be a target of US policy in the region. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that the Cuban government should be concerned. Petro responded by calling the US raid an “attack on the sovereignty” of Latin America and ordered the deployment of military forces to the border with Venezuela. Cuba condemned the operation, characterizing it as “state terrorism.”
