Victor Davis Hanson: Jean-Pierre’s Lies and the Colombia President’s ‘King’ Confusion
Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words - A podcast by Victor Davis Hanson | The Daily Signal
Following ongoing U.S. military operations in the Caribbean, President Donald Trump called his Colombian counterpart, Gustavo Petro, “an illegal drug leader,” on Truth Social. He continued, saying that Petro is “strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Colombia. It has become the biggest business in Colombia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large-scale payments and subsidies from the U.S. ... AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLOMBIA.” Petro countered, referring to the president as a “king.” President Petro: “You really do think that Donald Trump came to power and retained power without a free election? And you, right across the border, you have somebody who canceled our election by all consensus, lost the last Venezuelan election. Why don't you direct your animus toward him if you're worried about kings?” replies Victor Davis Hanson on today’s edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” Today’s show is sponsored in part by Freedom Frequency from The Hoover Institution.
