Colombian President Gustavo Petro says he would “take up arms” for his country if necessary as the United States issues threats against him and his government.

In a social media post on Monday, Petro, a former leftist fighter, said any violent US intervention in Colombia, such as the kind carried out in Venezuela over the weekend, would provoke a response.
