Trump Threatens Colombia Aid; Petro Alleges Assassination

Read, Watch or Listen

From Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump escalated tensions with Colombia, calling President Gustavo Petro an illegal drug dealer and declaring U.S. payments would stop as of today while warning he would close up drug operations. Petro, in a flurry of posts, accused the U.S. of assassination after a sixth American strike since early September; the U.S. said it repatriated two survivors to Colombia and Ecuador. Petro identified a Sept. 16 victim as fisherman Alejandro Carranza and vowed legal action, while a minister said another injured Colombian would be prosecuted over a boat full of cocaine.
