Colombia can count on US in case of Venezuela attack: ambassador

by Mathew Di Salvo September 18, 2018

The United States will defend Colombia against possible Venezuelan military aggression, the US ambassador said after Bogota ended its opposition against possible military action against its neighbor.

In an interview with El Tiempo newspaper, US Ambassador in Colombia Kevin Whitaker said President Ivan Duque recently spoke with US Defense Secretary James Mattis about the possibility of Venezuelan aggression.

“Colombia can count on us,” Whitaker told the newspaper, adding that he believed an attack is unlikely.

Ha! As if sane people couldn't see right through this one. It's a Trumpian dream: a chance to kick off his own invasion.
