Colombia’s socialist leader Gustavo Petro has claimed he’s prepared to “take up arms” to fight against President Donald Trump.
Petro published a lengthy, early-morning social media post on Monday, in which he also accused Trump of issuing “illegitimate threats” toward Bogotá.
The Colombian president is a self-described socialist and former member of the now-defunct M19 guerrilla organization.
He invoked his past involvement with the group while warning that detaining him would “unleash the jaguar of the people.”
