Dec 2 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said any country trafficking illegal drugs into the United States could be attacked.

“Anybody that’s doing that and selling it into our country is subject to attack,” Trump told reporters during a cabinet meeting at the White House, after raising the issue of cocaine from Colombia.

Neither Colombia’s foreign ministry nor the office of President Gustavo Petro immediately responded to requests for comment.
