President Trump accused Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro of being an “illegal drug leader” and announced that his administration is cutting off all subsidies to the Latin American country.

“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,” Trump raged on Truth Social.

“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.”

The US sent over $207 million worth of foreign aid to Colombia this year, according to foreignassistance.gov.

Trump’s action comes after a series of military strikes he has taken against alleged drug boats near the coast of Venezuela, Colombia’s neighbor.
