‏🚨 Colombian President Challenges Trump After Agreeing to Transport Refugees on Presidential Plane
Colombian President Gustavo Petro announces a 50% tariff on products coming from the United States.
He challenges Trump, saying: "You can never subjugate us."
"Let our people grow corn, and let this plant feed the world. I will not bow before the United States."
"I don't like your oil, Trump. You will destroy humanity through greed."
"You may see us as an inferior race, Trump, but we are not."
"If you want to know someone stubborn, it's me."
"True, thanks to your economic power and arrogance, you might try to overthrow me like you did with Allende. But I will die according to my own principles... I resisted torture and I will resist you too."
"I do not want the supporters of slavery beside Colombia, because we’ve seen enough of slaves and have become free."
"What I want beside Colombia are lovers of freedom."
"You may kill me, but I will live on in my people."
"The American continent existed before you."
"We are the people of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea, and freedom."
"It doesn’t matter if you don’t like our freedom."
"I don’t shake hands with white slave traders."
"I shake hands with libertarian whites, the heirs of Lincoln, and with the young black and white farmers in the United States—whom I’ve cried and prayed for their graves."
"They are the United States and I bow to them, not to anyone else."
"Colombia no longer looks north, but to the world. Our blood comes from the blood of the Andalusian Caliphate; from the civilization of that time."
"Our blood comes from the Latin Roman Empire in the Mediterranean, from the civilization of that time. One of those who founded the republic and democracy in Athens."
"Our blood comes from the resisting blacks whom you enslaved."
"Colombia is the first free land in America, before Washington."
"I turn to those lands filled with African songs."
"My land is the land of gold crafting that existed in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs and the early artists of the world in Cheribiquet."
"You can never subjugate us."
"Your obstacles do not scare me, because Colombia, in addition to being a land of beauty, is the heart of the world. I know you love beauty just like I do. If you respect it, it will offer you its sweetness."
