Trump Cuts $200M Aid, Blames Colombia for Drug Drama
On a spicy October Sunday, President Trump announced via Truth Social heās slashing all US aid to Colombia, accusing their head honcho Gustavo Petro of 'strongly encouraging massive drug production.' Despite $200 million in fiscal 2025 handouts, Trump called Petro a 'very unpopular leader' with a 'fresh mouth'āand boasted heāll 'close up these killing fields' himself, presumably with less politeness. Meanwhile, Petro clapped back calling Trump 'rude and ignorant.' The backdrop? Deadly US strikes in the Caribbean targeting so-called 'narco-terrorists' from Colombiaās ELN guerrillas, plus a $200M aid cut, and a Navy admiral quietly retiring amid murky legal questions on Capitol Hill.

If diplomacy were a reality show, Trump just gave Colombia the rose and then lit the whole garden on fire while accusing them of growing drugs like homegrown tomatoes.
