Trump Threatens Action on Colombia After Venezuela Raid

Trump Threatens Action on Colombia: 'Sounds Good to Me'

President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened military action against Colombia's government, telling reporters that such an operation "sounds good to me."

"Colombia is ⁠very sick, too, run by a sick man, who likes making ​cocaine and selling it to the United States, and he's not going to be doing it very long," ⁠Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One, in an apparent reference to Colombia's President Gustavo Petro.

Asked directly whether ⁠the U.S. ​would pursue ⁠a military operation against the country, Trump answered, "It sounds good to me."

 The comments came after the United States captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro in an audacious ⁠raid ​and whisked him to New York to face drug-trafficking charges.
