Trump threatens military operation in Colombia as Bitcoin rises to $93K
Bitcoin topped $93,000 on Monday as US President Donald Trump said military action in Colombia “sounds good.”
US President Donald Trump hinted that Colombia and Mexico could be the next targets for US military intervention following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro on Saturday, intensifying uncertainty in the region as Bitcoin climbed higher.
On Sunday, Trump raised concerns about cocaine continuing to flow from Colombia into the US while threatening that Colombian President Gustavo Petro may be the next leader the US captures.
“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,” Trump warned.
