Washington. Before losing to Tariff War with US President Donald Trump, Columbia President Gustavo Petro targeted the US President by calling a “white slave owner” and said that America can never dominate the South American country. He said that Trump considers him to be “lower caste”, but he is not like any other Colombian. Petro’s sharp remarks came when Donald Trump announced sanctions on Sunday, including cancellation of government officials and 25% tariffs on all colombian items as Columbia landed two American military aircraft carrying illegal migrants to illegal migrants. Had refused to allow
In response to this, Petro ordered a tariff on all American goods entering Colombia, causing a tariff war. However, a few hours later, the White House stated that the South American country has accepted all the conditions of Trump, including to accept the aircraft carrying illegal migrants. However, before the agreement, the President of Columbia went on X and attacked Trump. Petro said, “Trump, I don’t like to travel to America much. This is a little boring, but I believe that some things are worthy of praise there. “
He further said, “I don’t like your oil, Trump. This will destroy mankind due to greed. Perhaps one day, with a glass of whiskey – which I will accept despite my gastritis – we can talk openly. But this is difficult because you consider me a lower caste, and I am not, nor is there any Colombian. ” The President said that he would “die for his principles”, and he opposed Trump in the same way he opposed torture.
He said, “If you know a stubborn person, then he is me. Bus. You can try to make an economic or political coup, as it was done with Alande, but I will die for my principles. I opposed torture, and I will also oppose you. I do not want slave owners near Colombia; We already had many, and we liberated ourselves. I want freedom lovers near Colombia. If you cannot join me, I will go somewhere else. ” Petro said, “You can kill me, but I will survive in my people, who came to America before your people.” We are the people of winds, mountains, the Caribbean Sea and Freedom. “
‘I don’t join hands with white slaves’: Colombia President attacks Trump
Columbia President Gustavo Petro said, “You don’t like our freedom, okay. I do not join hands with white slaves owners. I shake hands with the white and the successor of Lincoln who cried and prayed to the young black and white farmers who I cried and prayed, when I passed through the mountains of Italy in Italy and avoided Kovid. They are the real America, and I bow before them. Not in front of anyone else. Drop me, America and humanity will answer you. You will never be able to beat us. “
Responding to Trump’s threat in which he said that the US would impose 25% tariffs which will increase by 50% in a week, Petro said that he will also take the same kind of retaliation. He said, “I have heard that you impose 50% tariffs on the fruits of our hard work which enters America. I will do the same. “
