Petro is trying to rally the remaining leftists in the Western Hemisphere.
One of the most controversial heads of state in Latin America, Colombia’s Gustavo Petro, is again speaking out against the Foreign Policy of US President Donald J. Trump, sending out ‘warnings’ that impress absolutely no one.
Petro has justarrived from Barcelona after a summit with other leftist leaders: Spain’s Pedro Sánchez and Brazil’s Lula da Silva, both trying to survive corruption scandals all around them, and Mexico’s Claudia Shainbaum, who ‘leads’ a country controlled by the Cartels’ ultra-violence.
These failed leaders, of course, pretend to have ‘miraculous’ formulas to improve geopolitical realities, when in fact they are highly unpopular in their own underperforming countries.
Today (18), in an interview with Spanish newspaper El País, Petro opined that US pressure on ‘dissenting Latin American leaders’ (a.k.a. Socialist dictators) could lead to a ‘rebellion’ against Washington’s influence.
“Petro, a former member of the leftist M-19 guerrilla, has frequently clashed with President Donald Trump, whose administration placed him on a sanctions list, compiled by the U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, for alleged involvement in the global illicit drug trade.
The 65-year-old, who travelled to Barcelona for a summit alongside the leaders of Spain, Brazil and Mexico, told El Pais the OFAC sanctions were being used as a political instrument to extort ‘those of us who espouse dissenting politics’.”
Watch: Petro booed last Tuesday during a speech.
