President Donald Trump just made it clear that he already has his eyes set on a new target following the US’s capture of the president of Venezuela. During a press conference on Saturday, he urged Colombian President Gustavo Petro to ‘watch his ass.’ The threat marks a dramatic escalation in tensions across Latin America, with Trump openly invoking the Monroe Doctrine to assert US dominance in the Western Hemisphere.
I literally said this as soon as I heard about Venezuela. He’s gonna go after Columbia, and then he’s going for the Panama Canal. If anyone is surprised by this, they haven’t been paying attention.
