Colombian politician Gustavo Petro responded to recent criticisms from former U.S. President Donald Trump with a video recorded on the streets of New York. In the video, Petro denounces an alleged attempted coup against him.
In the audiovisual material, Petro walks through the streets of the American city and claims that he is the victim of a plot against him. The politician assures that his life is in danger and blames Trump for being behind this attempted coup. "I want to tell the world that there is a conspiracy underway to end my life, and I blame Trump for it," declared Petro in the video.
This response from the Colombian politician comes after Trump accused Petro of being a communist leader and leading Colombia down a wrong path. Petro, for his part, has dismissed these accusations and stated that he is in the United States seeking international support amid the political crisis facing his country.
