<p>President Donald Trump suggested that Colombia’s president may be a target after a successful U.S. operation resulted in former President Nicolás Maduro’s arrest and extradition from Venezuela.</p>
<p>Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday evening that Colombia’s president, Gustavo Petro, “likes making cocaine,” but that he would not be “doing it very long.” On Saturday, Trump had said that Petro should “watch his *ss.”</p>
<p>“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, let me tell you,” Trump <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-UQhHTfb1o">told</a> reporters. The president seemed unwilling to elaborate until a reporter suggested that another operation may be launched against Petro.</p>
<p>“Sounds good to me,” Trump responded.</p>
<p>The military operation to arrest and extradite Maduro was carried out after federal prosecutors <a href="https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/venezuela-strikes/card/maduro-faces-federal-drug-trafficking-charges-in-u-s--hqFy8dcmWFBCuxLJNORl?gaa_at=eafs&amp;gaa_n=AWEtsqeYgAcBlRh51Uvh3wCJ8020FqkT15IPnz2XYyX5jN1l33I6L9ntmutXssFMg7A%3D&amp;gaa_ts=695b2297&amp;gaa_sig=DjtuJAhTN507BmAwspbTt6oiut0yMxKthj25zY0Om4byOVcOepJFFZciTmv-ZxQrAeWHEe5hiSg-YyiFtvcaFQ%3D%3D">secured</a> an indictment against the Venezuelan dictator in 2020 for drug trafficking. During a five-hour mission early Saturday morning, explosions rocked Caracas as American service members arrested Maduro and put him on board a U.S. warship to be taken to New York for trial.</p>
<p>Trump has continued to ramp up the pressure on Maduro in recent months, amassing warships and thousands of troops in the southern Caribbean. But even as the United States built up forces off the coast of Venezuela, Petro <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/international/2025/11/gustavo-petro-colombia/684776/">taunted</a> Trump.</p>
<p>In the wake of Maduro’s arrest, Petro has continued to publicly attack the United States, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czx1rpxzyx9o">claiming</a> that the operation was an &#8220;assault on the sovereignty&#8221; of South America. Petro has <a href="https://x.com/petrogustavo/status/2007979103090290767">denied</a> the accusations of drug trafficking against himself and also defended Maduro against similar charges made by the United States.</p>
<p>The United States military has targeted drug boats between South America in the United States for months, mostly in the Caribbean, but some boats have been destroyed in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Colombia, as well.</p>
<p>U.S. officials have also issued public warnings for Cuba, as well. Secretary of State Marco Rubio <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/after-venezuela-rubio-says-cuba-is-in-a-lot-of-trouble">said</a> on Sunday that “the Cuban government is a huge problem.”</p>
<p>“I’m not going to talk to you about what our future steps are going to be and our policies are going to be right now in this regard, but I don’t think it’s any mystery that we are not big fans of the Cuban regime,” he said in an interview on NBC.</p>
