President Donald Trump put Colombian President Gustavo Petro on notice in an early Sunday morning announcement, calling on him to rein in drug production in his country and threatening to do it for him if he chose not do so on his own.

Trump lashed out at Petro via his Truth Social platform, saying that he planned to put a stop to all payments and subsidies that the United States gave to Colombia would be stopped if Petro — “a low-rated and unpopular leader” — didn’t comply with his wishes.

“President Gustavo Petro, of Colombia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia,” Trump posted. “It has become the biggest business in Colombia, 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. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA.”

“The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc,” he added. “Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Just one day prior, Trump posted about another strike on narco-terrorists in a submarine headed toward the United States, saying that the two terrorists who’d survived the attack were being returned to their home countries — Ecuador and Colombia.

“It was my great honor to destroy a very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating towards the United States on a well known narcotrafficking transit route. U.S. Intelligence confirmed this vessel was loaded up with mostly Fentanyl, and other illegal narcotics. There were four known narcoterrorists on board the vessel. Two of the terrorists were killed,” he posted. “At least 25,000 Americans would die if I allowed this submarine to come ashore. The two surviving terrorists are being returned to their Countries of origin, Ecuador and Colombia, for detention and prosecution. No U.S. Forces were harmed in this strike. Under my watch, the United States of America will not tolerate narcoterrorists trafficking illegal drugs, by land or by sea. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

The State Department on Saturday announced that Hamas could soon violate the ceasefire agreement by attacking Gazans.

“The United States has informed the guarantor nations of the Gaza peace agreement of credible reports indicating an imminent ceasefire violation by Hamas against the people of Gaza,” the State Department said in a statement.

“This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts. The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms.”

The message goes on to note that if the attack does occur, “measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire.”

It’s not clear what Hamas might be planning. The State Department did not respond to a request for comment.

The days since the release of the 20 living Israeli hostages have been marked by celebration, as well as anxiety, with reports of Hamas executing members of rival groups and citizens accused of collaborating with Israel.

In one widely-publicized video, individuals who appear to be members of Hamas drag eight men into a public space and execute them in front of a crowd.

Additionally, Hamas has openly resisted disarming — a key component of the 20-point peace plan. President Donald Trump responded to Hamas’s apparent refusal to lay down its weapons by stating that if the terror organization won’t disarm of its own volition, “we will disarm them.”

The president made the consequences even more clear in a recent Truth Social post: “If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the Deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them.”
