President Trump on Sunday lashed out against Colombian President Gustavo Petro the morning after the South American leader accused the U.S. of “murder” tied to a U.S. military strike on an alleged drug-trafficking boat.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump claimed Petro is an “illegal drug leader” and said the U.S. will no longer provide “large scale payments and subsidies” for his country. The Colombian president on Saturday night had alleged in a post on the social platform X that U.S. officials “committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters,” weeks after calling for an investigation into several other boat strikes.
Trump has been active on social media while at his Mar-a-Lago resort this weekend. After millions of Americans gathered across the country on Saturday for the second “No Kings” protests against his administration’s actions, the president shared an AI-generated video of himself wearing a crown while piloting a fighter jet and dumping brown liquid on demonstrators in New York City’s Times Square.
During an interview on Fox News’s “Sunday Morning Futures” — which was recorded before Saturday’s protests — the president criticized the planned gatherings, saying, “I’m not a king.”
Officials who made appearances on Sunday morning news shows included Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) and Sen. Mark Kelly (R-Ariz.).
