With the snap of a finger, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said they will need to “get rid of Trump” if the U.S. President doesn’t get rid of himself. In that snap, he made certain his words were not confused for some call for minor political action. Without directly saying the words, Petro insinuated that President Trump needs to be assassinated.
In a tense sit-down that left even the interviewer rattled, Petro declared his growing disdain for President Trump. Univision’s Daniel Coronell was at the presidential palace in Bogotá when Petro made the inflammatory remarks that are now sending shockwaves across borders. His intention was clear. The threat is real.
The relationship between Washington and Bogotá that’s been crumbling faster than a sandcastle at high tide. Petro hates President Trump and if President Trump gave a mild thought to the leftist dictator, the feeling would likely be mutual.
Tensions kicked into high gear last month when U.S. forces took out the first of many boats in the Caribbean Sea that were hauling drugs bound for American shores. One in particular happened to be from Colombia with others coming from Venezuela.
Petro fired back, calling the operation a straight-up murder of a Colombian citizen—a guy he described as a simple fisherman named Alejandro Andrés Carranza. But dig a little deeper, and Carranza’s story gets murky: reports tie him to a 2015 heist where hundreds of weapons vanished from a police station in Santa Marta. He copped to charges like conspiracy and theft back then, painting a picture far from the innocent angler Petro portrays.
The “fisherman” was a bad hombre.
Trump, never one to let a jab go unanswered, jumped on social media the very next day. He branded Petro an “illegal drug leader” who’s turned Colombia into a narco powerhouse, churning out poisons that flood U.S. streets and wreak havoc on families.
“It’s a long-term rip-off of America,” Trump blasted, announcing he’d slash all aid, subsidies, and handouts to Colombia effective immediately. And he didn’t stop there—warning that if Petro doesn’t shut down those “killing fields” pronto, the U.S. would step in and do it themselves, “and it won’t be done nicely.”
En route on Air Force One, he even floated new tariffs on Colombian imports, tightening the screws further.
Ever since President Trump reclaimed the White House earlier this year, the two countries have been at each other’s throats. Colombia balked at accepting deportation flights right after the inauguration, prompting Trump to threaten economic hammer blows. Then, during the U.N. General Assembly, Petro stirred the pot by rallying for Palestine in New York and telling U.S. troops to ignore Trump’s orders in favor of “humanity.”
The State Department yanked his visa for that stunt. Fast forward to September, and the U.S. slapped Colombia with a “failing” grade on drug control efforts—the first such black mark in decades—despite billions in anti-narcotics aid poured in over the years. Bogotá’s response? Recalling their ambassador from D.C. for urgent talks, signaling this spat’s far from over.
Coronell, the Univision host, walked away from the interview looking shell-shocked. He later posted online that he left “more worried than when I arrived,” which says a lot about the vibe in that room. Media watchers have pounced on the clip, with outlets like the Media Research Center highlighting the raw exchange.
Meanwhile, international observers are buzzing about what this means for hemispheric stability—could it spiral into trade wars, border clampdowns, or worse?
At its core, this dust-up demonstrates the fragile dance between neighbors grappling with drugs, illegal aliens, and power plays. Petro, who’s navigated Colombia through its own turbulent politics, seems dead set on pushing back against what he sees as Yankee overreach. Trump, with his trademark bravado, is doubling down on America First. Where it all leads is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s for sure: finger-snapping threats aren’t the stuff of diplomacy. They’re the kind that keep diplomats up at night.
Let’s pray Petro never gets his wish.
