伦敦-美国总统唐纳德·特朗普周日暗示,哥伦比亚总统古斯塔沃·佩德罗可能很快就会面临美国的行动,此前美国袭击了委内瑞拉,委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)被捕并在美国接受审判
特朗普似乎还威胁到了古巴,这个左翼政府是马杜罗及其委内瑞拉威权政权的长期盟友。
“哥伦比亚也病得很重,由一个喜欢制造可卡因并把它卖给美国的有病的人管理。让我告诉你,他不会做很久,”特朗普周日告诉记者。
当被问及美国是否会对哥伦比亚发动军事行动时,特朗普回应说:“我觉得这听起来不错。”
周日早些时候,Petro就针对委内瑞拉的行动和特朗普此前对他的评论发布了一份声明,称“我深深拒绝特朗普在不知情的情况下说话;我的名字没有出现在50多年来有关贩毒的司法档案中,无论是以前还是现在。”
“别诋毁我了,特朗普先生。你不能这样威胁一个从哥伦比亚武装斗争和人民争取和平的斗争中脱颖而出的拉美总统,”他补充说。
委内瑞拉马杜罗下台后,记者问特朗普,美国是否有类似的计划来应对古巴,他说哈瓦那政府只是因为委内瑞拉的慷慨才得以幸存。
“现在,他们不会有那笔钱进来了。他们不会有收入进来。你知道,昨天很多古巴人被杀害,你知道很多古巴人被杀害,”特朗普说。
特朗普表示,周六遇害的古巴人试图保护马杜罗。据古巴官员称,至少有32名古巴人在美国的行动中丧生。
“古巴看起来就要沦陷了。我不知道他们如何——如果他们要坚持下去,但古巴现在没有收入,”特朗普说。“他们所有的收入都来自委内瑞拉,来自委内瑞拉的石油。他们什么也没得到。古巴真的要沦陷了。你有很多伟大的古巴裔美国人,他们会为此感到非常高兴。”
当再次被问及美国是否考虑在古巴采取行动时,总统说他认为没有必要,因为“看起来它正在下降。”
与此同时,在委内瑞拉,副总统德尔西·罗德里格斯(Delcy Rodriguez)被该国最高法院任命为临时总统,最高法院称美国逮捕马杜罗是“绑架”。
马杜罗和他的妻子Cilia Flores定于周一在曼哈顿的一家联邦法院首次出庭。
周六,罗德里格斯要求马杜罗回归,并发誓要捍卫委内瑞拉免受美国的侵略。
周日,罗德里格斯在社交媒体上发布了一份声明,她邀请“美国政府与我们合作,在国际法框架内共同发展,加强持久的社区共存。”
在对《大西洋月刊》的评论中,特朗普威胁说,如果罗德里格斯未能“做正确的事情”,他将在委内瑞拉采取进一步行动。当被问及他想从罗德里格斯那里得到什么时,特朗普呼吁“完全获取”该国的石油储备。
“我们负责,”特朗普周日告诉记者该国的局势。总统说他没有和罗德里格斯谈过话。当被问及是否计划这么做时,总统说,“在适当的时候,我会的。”
Trump implies he may target Colombia's president, says Cuba appears 'ready to fall'
LONDON -- President Donald Trump implied on Sunday that Colombian President Gustavo Petro could face U.S. action soon, following the American attack on Venezuela that saw its president, Nicolas Maduro, captured and taken to face trial in the U.S.
Trump also appeared to threaten Cuba, the leftist government that has been a longtime ally of Maduro and his authoritarian regime in Venezuela.
"Colombia is very sick too, run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States. And he's not going to be doing it very long, let me tell you," Trump told reporters Sunday.
Asked if the U.S. would launch a military operation against Colombia, Trump responded, "It sounds good to me."
Earlier on Sunday, Petro released a statement on the operation against Venezuela and Trump's previous comments about him, saying, "I deeply reject Trump speaking without knowing; my name does not appear in the judicial files on drug trafficking over 50 years, neither from before nor from the present."
"Stop slandering me, Mr. Trump. That's not how you threaten a Latin American president who emerged from the armed struggle and then from the people's struggle for Peace in Colombia," he added.
Following the removal of Maduro in Venezuela, reporters asked Trump if the U.S. had a similar plan to deal with Cuba, to which he said that the government in Havana only survived because of Venezuelan largesse.
"Now, they won't have that money coming in. They won't have the income coming in. You know, a lot of Cubans were killed yesterday, you know that a lot of Cubans were killed," Trump said.
Trump said the Cubans killed on Saturday were trying to protect Maduro. According to Cuban officials, at least 32 Cuban nationals were killed in the U.S. operation.
"Cuba looks like it's ready to fall. I don't know how they -- if they're going to hold out, but Cuba now has no income," Trump said. "They got all of their income from Venezuela, from the Venezuelan oil. They're not getting any of it. And Cuba literally is ready to fall. And you have a lot of great Cuban Americans that are going to be very happy about this."
Asked again if the U.S. is considering action in Cuba, the president said he did not think it necessary because "it looks like it's going down."
In Venezuela, meanwhile, Vice President Delcy Rodriguez was appointed as interim president by the country's Supreme Court, which described the U.S. capture of Maduro as a "kidnapping."
Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, are scheduled to make their initial appearances on Monday in a federal court in Manhattan.
On Saturday, Rodriguez demanded Maduro's return and vowed to defend Venezuela against American aggression.
On Sunday, Rodriguez posted a statement to social media in which she invited "the U.S. government to collaborate with us on an agenda of cooperation oriented towards shared development within the framework of international law to strengthen lasting community coexistence."
In comments to The Atlantic, Trump threatened further action in Venezuela if Rodriguez failed to "do what's right." Asked what he wanted from Rodriguez, Trump called for "total access" to the country's oil reserves.
"We're in charge," Trump told reporters of the situation in the country on Sunday. The president said that he had not spoken to Rodriguez. Asked if he planned to, the president said, "At the right time, I will."
