Reference News Website November 9 report - According to EFE news agency on November 8, Colombian President Petro again criticized U.S. President Trump over the recent U.S. attacks on ships allegedly carrying drugs in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean, and warned him that "as the legend goes, if the golden eagle dares to attack the Andean condor, the jaguar will be awakened."
During an event held in Santa Marta, Colombia, Petro stated that dialogue with the United States "is still possible," but emphasized that the dialogue must be "equal, not fawning."
The report said that the event was a supporting activity for the Fourth Summit of the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European Union, which will open tomorrow.
"Do not awaken the jaguar," Petro emphasized, "I want to tell Rubio and Trump, 'Be careful, you are crossing the Caribbean of the liberators, you are provoking Bolivar's homeland.'"
Petro also said that more than 70 people killed by the recent U.S. attacks in the Caribbean were "not drug traffickers," but "poor people."
In addition, Petro once again accused the U.S. government of urging European and Latin American leaders not to attend the Fourth CELAC-EU Summit to be held in Santa Marta on September 9-10. (Translated by Su Jiawei)
