Bogota Slams US 'Invasion' Threat After Trump Vows To End Colombian Drug Production

Colombia's interior minister on Monday voiced anger at US President Donald Trump for threatening a potential "invasion" of his country -- the world's biggest cocaine producer -- to combat drug production.

Trump had angrily lashed out on Sunday at his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro, saying on social media that he "better close up" drug cultivation sites, "or the United States will close them up for him, and it won’t be done nicely."

In a Blu Radio interview, Colombian Interior Minister Armando Benedetti called the remarks a "threat of invasion or military action against Colombia."
