US President Donald Trump’s recent statements have caused a stir in Latin America. Trump threatened both Colombia and Mexico with military action if those countries did not meet his demands. In particular, Colombia’s President Gustavo Petro and Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum are the focus of the threats. Trump explained that Colombia is a major drug producer and Petro needs to “wake up” to avoid being targeted next.
The threats against Mexico include the possibility of ground attacks and the imposition of special tariffs on Mexican products if Mexico stops supplying water to the United States. These claims are related to a long-standing dispute over water resources in the Rio Grande, Colorado and Tijuana river basins. Trump is demanding that Mexico release 200,000 acre-feet of water to the US by the end of 2025.
Colombia’s President Petro responded to the threats by inviting Trump to visit the country and see for himself the efforts in the fight against drug trafficking. Petro stressed that his government carried out the largest cocaine seizure in history and that anti-mafia efforts are supported by military operations and joint intelligence work.
Mexico’s President Sheinbaum firmly rejected the threats and said she would never accept foreign intervention. She emphasized that both governments will find a solution that does not endanger the population or agricultural production in Mexico, but also helps the United States. Tensions between the US and Latin America are rising as Washington becomes increasingly confrontational.
