Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Monday that he is ready to “take up arms” against the US after President Trump threatened military action in Colombia.



Following the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, Trump suggested Colombia and Petro may be America’s next target to curb drug trafficking in the region, leading Petro to issue a stark warning.

“I swore not to touch a weapon again since the 1989 Peace Pact, but for the homeland, I will take up arms again,” Petro wrote on X.
