00:00U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to carry out military ground attacks in Latin America
00:05under the pretext of allegedly fighting drop production and trafficking.
00:09In statements to the press, Donald Trump affirmed that any country that manufactures fentanyl to sell it in the United States
00:16would be subjected to a military attack, directly pointing the finger at Colombia.
00:21This is despite the fact that there is no evidence verified by the international authorities
00:27that countries in the region are manufacturers of this substance.
00:31The President also made it clear that the threat extends to any government that, in his opinion, is involved in drug trafficking.
00:38In this sense, Trump also repeated his accusations against Venezuela,
00:43insisting that the country allegedly empties its prisons and sends migrants to U.S. territory,
00:49whom he described as murderers and traffickers.
00:52This rhetoric criminalizes migration and revives the narrative of the war on drugs,
00:57a strategy that has been used by Washington for decades to justify its political and military intervention in Latin America.
