“Come Get Me”: Colombian President Dares Trump The Same Way Maduro Did
In a statement on Sunday, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the nation will “maintain international relations based on dialogue, cooperation and mutual respect”; however, it “considers threats or the use of force in relations between States unacceptable.”
Gustavo Petro has challenged Donald Trump in the aftermath of a US operation in Venezuela
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has challenged US President Donald Trump in the aftermath of a United States operation in Venezuela. Petro slammed the operation on Monday and, in a statement to Trump, said, “Come get me. I’m waiting for you here.”
“If they [the US] bombs, the campesinos will become thousands of guerrillas in the mountains. And if they detain the president which a large part of the country loves and respects, they will unleash the ‘jaguar’ of the people,” he warned.
Petro, who was a leftist guerrilla before demobilising in the 1990s, also said, “I swore not to touch a weapon again … but for the homeland I will take up arms again.”

The tensions between the two nations boiled over when, after the attack on Venezuela, Trump told reporters on Sunday that Colombia is run by a man who is selling drugs to the US. “Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. And he’s not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you,” Trump said.
The Republican leader also said that launching an operation against Colombia “sounds good” to him.
In a statement on Sunday, the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the nation will “maintain international relations based on dialogue, cooperation and mutual respect”; however, it “considers threats or the use of force in relations between States unacceptable.”
In October, Trump had sanctioned Petro and members of his family over ties to illegal drug trade.
Colombia is the world’s largest producer of cocaine. The coca plant is cultivated in mainly three Latin American countries – Peru, Bolivia and Colombia.
In August, Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro dared Trump to “come and get him”.
“Come get me. I will wait for him here in Miraflores. Don’t be late, coward,” he said in a fiery speech in August after the US increased the reward for information leading to his arrest.
The White House on Sunday mocked Maduro in a video on X.

The video showed a montage of Maduro taunting the US and footage of the raid to capture the Venezuelan leader and his wife, Cilia Flores.
The 61-second clip also featured scenes from Trump’s press briefing on the Venezuela strikes, during which the US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said that Maduro “had his chance – until he didn’t”.
“He f****d around and found out,” Hegseth was heard saying in the video, which has now gone viral.
After apparent months of planning, the US strike that resulted in the arrest of Maduro unfolded swiftly over the weekend, with American forces converging on Caracas to arrest Maduro and his wife.
Trump stated that Maduro and his wife have been indicted on charges of alleged “drug trafficking and narco-terrorism conspiracies” in the Southern District of New York and will face trial.

Every Horrible Leader will meet their tragic end, Black, White or even Orange coloured
We shouldn’t sit around and let Horrible leaders come to their tragic end people need to be more proactive in making the change they want instead is being passive about it.
@young Communist.
We are lucky we still have our little voice here in Antigua and can still go out and protest or speak up.
This is not an excuse. But do you really understand the power a regime has behind them with the military and law enforcement?
A leader that manipulate that power, by threatening you and your family, by sending out assassins to murder your family and friends, do you really know what that fear can do to the people who oppose such leaders?
Speak in the real world when you speak my friend, I keep telling you that.
Hope has been lost in this world already, and the only way to go forward is to fight fire with fire, so to speak.
If we don’t watch out here in Antigua as well,that dictatorship can easily happens here.
I’ve seen the signs. And when a snake is cornered, it lashes out.
So noble words coming from a man who still see the world in black and white, well it’s not.
Trump: Careful because you live in a very thin glass house…So if your wise you’d better not throw stones this way pal….

Islanman26 Each country has lots condition you have to understand and know how to work within that’s why history shows groups sometimes start with a underground society or some with a public group either way it still took them doing activities to grow either spreading information or community services I’m saying I know everything buy action is needed for change whether big or small or even something as little as inspiration helps but saying someone should do something don’t.
I love Antigua that’s why I want better for it I don’t want to see it gets turned into a island that only purpose is to be a vacation destination want people sucking up to tourist greedy to US I’m done hearing people saying “further out tourism” and I don’t want to leave like many did.
I’m not the most educated in theory but I do strive to hold consistent values, No wars, workers rights and equality. I will get things wrong, I could miss things but I don’t believe things are black and white every country did and dies things wrong and everyone does something right the country I hate has something to take for example Israel irrigation even though they stole it from Palestine when they took over the land I would still seek to bring that technology to Antigua. Counties I love does bad things to such as the USSR many mistakes and China island creation to expand terrestrial waters or treating to use military to complete unifaction with Taiwan I just learn as I go and try to understand the situation completely and individually not from broad this country is goof so this good or this party I like so party is correct.
