Gustavo Petro writes a challenging message to Donald Trump: “Tell me president and will answer the Americas and humanity”

President Gustavo Petro elevates the tone of his confrontation with Donald Trump and every time puts it closer to a point of no return. The situation experienced this Sunday is not precedents in the history of both countries and could have catastrophic consequences for Colombia, as different experts have warned.

Trump made in Sunday afternoon a series of ads with serious sanctions for the country, on behalf of the disavow that President Petro made against the landing in Bogotá of two military planes that brought a group of Colombian deportees. “They just informed that two repatriation flights from the United States, with a large number of illegal criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by the socialist president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular among his people. The denial of these flights from Petro has jeopardized the national and public security of the United States, so I have ordered my administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive reprisal measures, ”was the trill of the American president .

The consequences he listed there are devastating for Colombia. 1) 25 % emergency tariffs on all goods entering the United States. In a week, 25 % tariffs will rise to 50 %. 2) prohibition of traveling and immediate visas for Colombian government officials and all allies and supporters. 3) Visas sanctions for all party members, family members and supporters of the Colombian government. 4) reinforced customs inspections and border protection of all Colombian nationals and shipments for national security reasons. 5) The sanctions to the Treasury, the Banking and Finance of the IEEPA will be imposed fully.

And Petro’s response to this series of measures was totally confrontational. “Trump, I do not like to travel to the US. .

The Colombian president decided to dispatch in aggressive tone against all the policies of President Trump. “I don’t like its oil, Trump, it’s going to end the human species for greed. Maybe one day, next to a whiskey drink what I accept, despite my gastritis, We can speak frankly about this, but it is difficult because you consider me a lower race and I am not, nor any Colombian, ”he says in his trill.

“If you can’t accompany me, I’m going to other sides. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of remedies, but also of the Buendía aurelian colonels, of which I am one of them, perhaps the last one will kill me, but I will survive in my town that is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, of the Caribbean Sea and of La Libertad, ”he wrote in reference to the book of Gabriel García Márquez, 100 years of Soledad.

And in the midst of that literary reflection he sends a hard slablazo with a threat tone. “You don’t like our freedom, okay. I do not shake my hand with white slaves. I narrow the hands of the libertarian whites heirs of Lincoln and the black and white peasant boys of the US After saving me from Covid. They are. Uu. And before them I kneel, before anyone else. Tell me president and will answer the Americas and humanity. ”

In the following lines, Petro sends Trump again and again that he doesn’t care what he thinks. “I lift a flag and as Gaitán said, so it will be alone, it will continue to fly with the Latin American dignity that is the dignity of America, that his great grandfather did not know, and mine yes, Mr. Immigrant President in the US It scares me; Because Colombia, in addition to being the country of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know that I love beauty like me, not the disrespect and will give her sweetness. ”
