Colombian President Petro Will be Next
Donald Trump sends fierce 4-word warning to Colombia’s president as Venezuela ship seized
The warning comes after the US seized a Venezuelan oil tanker in the Caribbean, sparking intense backlash from the South American country.

President Donald Trump issued a message to Colombian President Gustavo Petro as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate, warning: “He will be next soon.”
Speaking to reporters, Trump stated that Petro is “next” on the White House’s list of alleged drug trafficking suspects to remove from power. Initially, Trump stated he “really thought too much about” removing Petro from power.
Now, it seems the president has changed his mind regarding the leader. “Colombia is producing a lot of drugs,” Trump told reporters. It comes amid fears Trump has sparked ‘beginning of war’ after an ‘act of piracy.’
“So he better wise up or he’ll be next. He’ll be next soon,” he added. “I hope he’s listening; he’s going to be next.”
The comments from the president mark a major escalation of Trump’s threats against the Colombian leader. During a conversation with Politico this week, Trump teased that he planned on expanding his anti-drug trafficking operation to both Mexico and Colombia.
Previously, Petro slammed Trump, stating, “To threaten our sovereignty is to declare war; do not damage two centuries of diplomatic relations.”
The Colombian commander-in-chief also extended an invitation for his American counterpart to observe the nation’s dismantling of drug facilities firsthand.
While Trump has made his feelings on Petro very clear, it is likely that the president may get his wish without having to resort to violence. Politico reported that the office of the Colombian leader is term-limited and the country is scheduled to hold elections in May.
For the last few months, the president has concentrated his efforts on Venezuela. Since September, the White House has authorized the systematic strikes of alleged drug trafficking boats leaving the country and built up a massive military buildup.
Rising tensions
The strikes have been a concentrated effort to force Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro to leave office.
On Wednesday, US Navy forces intercepted and seized a sanctioned oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela, then Nicolas Maduro has vowed to “kick in the teeth” of America.
He fumed the US had committed an act of “piracy” – while a nonchalant Donald Trump suggested the States would “keep the oil.”
And below is a Prophecy between the rivarly between Esau and Jacob:
And upon thy sword shalt thou depend, entering at every place: yet thou shalt be supple and credulous, and be in subjection to thy brother; but it will be that when his sons become evil, and fall from keeping the commandments of the law, thou shalt break his yoke of servitude from off thy neck. Genesis 27:40 Jonathan
“And Esau harbored hatred in his heart against Jacob, his brother, because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him.
“And Esau said in his heart, ‘I will not do as Cain did, who killed Abel during their father’s lifetime and then their father had another son, Seth.
“Rather, I will wait until the days of mourning for my father have passed, and then I will kill Jacob my brother, and I will be the sole heir.’” Genesis 27:41 Jonathan
