Colombian President Gustavo Petro has directly challenged US President Donald Trump, daring him to "come get me" in response to threats and criticism regarding drug trafficking. Petro's defiant stance, echoing a similar taunt by Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro, warns of widespread resistance and potential guerrilla warfare if the US were to bomb or detain him. The exchange follows a US military operation in Venezuela and Trump's accusations that Colombia is run by a "sick man" involved in cocaine production. Colombia's foreign ministry has stated it rejects threats or the use of force in international relations.
