President Donald Trump said the US will no longer offer subsidies to Colombia, one of the country’s closest South American allies. The US president announced the decision in a Truth Social post on Sunday, labelling Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro as “an illegal drug leader” who has “strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia”. The move is the latest in a string of escalating tensions between the US and countries in Latin America, as the US military continues to strike ships in the Caribbean Sea it alleges carry drugs.In September, for the first time since 1996, the US declared that Colombia had failed to uphold its drug trafficking promises, and is ineligible for aid as defined in the Foreign Assistance Act. But the state department included a waiver that allowed Colombia to continue to receive aid. Is US tring to micromanage the whole world ?
