Colombian minister warns of military response to foreign aggression.

Colombia’s Foreign Minister Rosa Yolanda Villavicencio has warned that any breach of the country’s sovereignty will be met with a military response, following threats from US President Donald Trump. Villavicencio stated that countries have the right to self-defence under international law. Trump’s recent attack on Venezuela has put Latin America on edge, with Trump praising US dominance in the region and hinting at potential operations in Colombia. Colombian President Gustavo Petro has been targeted by Trump, who accused him of involvement in narcotics trafficking. Petro has condemned the US attack on Venezuela and warned of potential armed resistance if Colombia faces foreign aggression.
