A November 9, 2025 clip of Colombian President Gustavo Petro escalating tensions with U.S. President Donald Trump has resurfaced and is going viral after Trump doubled down on his threats against Colombia and others after capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

The November clip came from a press conference held by Petro following Trump cutting all aid to Colombia, branding its president a “drug dealer” and “lunatic.” Trump also accused Bogotá of failing to cease narcotics production.
In Petro’s speech, he warned that Latin America “will rise by the millions” if the United States expands military action in the Caribbean. Petro fired off on the Trump administration:
“A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy democracy in Colombia. Harsh, yes. But that’s the reality. And to keep the list from coming out, they send warships to kill fisherman from this city and threaten the neighbor, talking about ‘dictator,’ and so on, as if the people of Colombia would applaud an invasion of their brother — which is not the president, but the people of Venezuela.
When would we ever be so treacherous and sold out, betraying our own blood or the people of Panamá, or the people of Venezuela? They are own people. So, they want the president to do what that coward [Iván] Duque wanted to do, to lend Colombia’s land so that from there they could invade a brother country that shares the same history as us.
Because Bolívar was born there and came to die here in this city. In cannot be, a president of Colombia that would do that would be cursed by future generations, because you would never be forgotten as a traitor. I do not belong to those who wanted to kill Bolívar.
The government of Venezuela has made many criticisms, but I do not mock the people of Venezuela nor would I set a trap for the people of Venezuela to fall into the trap of an invasion that is only about their oil, driven by greed and violence to turn this beautiful corner of South America into another Syria, another Iraq, another Libya, full of slaves, slave trading and new forms of slavery.
[Jeffrey] Epstein‘s list, his friends, those who don’t want the list to be published in the United States. They want to use us here with violence so that the people of the United States don’t think about their own government, but instead get consumed by xenophobia, racism, ideas of racial superiority, and other falsehoods. And they use us to avoid addressing their own problems. The president of Colombia has spent decades denouncing drug traffickers. And the drug traffickers he has denounced have always been the ruling elite in Colombia. They’ve been ruling the state.”

Donald Trump Reiterates Threats Against Colombian President Gustavo Petro After The U.S. Captures Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro
Since then, President Trump has done exactly what Petro warned against. Early Saturday morning (January 3), Trump ordered strikes on Venezuela and captured its leader, Nicolás Maduro, and his wife, Cilia Flores.
Maduro and his wife have since been processed at a DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) field office in Manhattan and transferred to Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC Brooklyn). Furthermore, this is the same jail that housed El Chapo, Diddy, Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, Luigi Mangione, Sam Bankman Fried, Michael Cohen, and many more celebrities as they awaited federal trials.
After Maduro’s capture, President Trump continued to double down on threats against Colombia, Nigeria, and other foreign territories. When asked about his comments from weeks ago, telling Petro to “watch his a**,” Trump doubled down on the threats. This occurred at his press conference post-capture of Maduro and after Petro claimed he remained unphazed and not scared.
While speaking to press, Trump said, “He has cocaine mills. He has factories where he makes cocaine. Yeah, I think I stick by my first statement. He’s making cocaine. They’re sending it to the United States. So, he does have to watch his a**.”
