🚨 BREAKING: TRUMP CUTS OFF COLOMBIA “NO MORE PAYMENTS!” 🇺🇸🇨🇴
📍 West Palm Beach, Florida In a stunning policy move, President Donald Trump has officially ended all U.S. payments and subsidies to Colombia, sharply escalating tensions with Colombian President Gustavo Petro.
💬 Trump’s Statement
In a fiery post on social media, Trump accused Petro of “doing nothing to stop drug production” in Colombia, despite years of American financial support.
“As of today, these payments or any other form of payment or subsidy will no longer be made to Colombia,”
Trump declared, writing the message in all caps.
The president labeled prior aid packages as “a long term rip off of America,” signaling a hard break from decades of U.S. Colombia cooperation in counter narcotics and regional security.
🌎 Diplomatic Shockwave
The decision marks a major shift in U.S. foreign policy toward one of its closest Latin American partners. Analysts warn the move could:
Undermine regional anti narcotics efforts,
Strain diplomatic and trade relations, and
Push Colombia to seek closer ties with China or Russia.
Markets reacted swiftly, with LatAm currencies sliding and U.S. defense and commodity traders bracing for volatility.

Whether this is a negotiating tactic or a lasting policy reset remains to be seen but one thing’s clear: Washington’s tone toward Bogotá has changed overnight.
