Colombian President Petro: Trump has two options: Either he changes or he is removed from office.

Maduro: "Colombia knows we are one, Siamese twins, and whatever happens with Colombia is with Venezuela, and whatever happens with Venezuela is with Colombia, as a Colombian military officer wrote to me two weeks ago: if you touch Venezuela, you touch Colombia, we are one homeland, and we don't say that just for the sake of it. I know what I'm saying."

President @petrogustavo called on citizens to gather in Bolívar Plaza, "next to the statue of the emancipator, the guide of free beings, and next to his sword." In his message, the president stated: "Bolívar rides again."

Petro: "Mr. Trump, Colombia has never been rude to the US; on the contrary, it has deeply loved its culture. But you are rude and ignorant toward Colombia. Read, as your chargé d'affaires in Colombia did, One Hundred Years of Solitude, and I assure you that you will learn something from solitude. I don't do business, like you do. I'm a socialist. I believe in aid and the common good, and in the common goods of humanity, the greatest of all: life, endangered by your oil. If I'm not a businessman, much less a drug trafficker, there is no greed in my heart. I could never understand greed. A mobster is a human being who embodies the best of capitalism: greed. And I am the opposite: a lover of life and therefore a millennial warrior of life. Greed flees us, because life is more powerful."

Trump: President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA.
