<p>Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Saturday lashed
out at his US counterpart, Donald Trump, over recent
attacks by that country on boats in the Caribbean and
the Pacific, and warned him that, as \u201cthe legend says,
the jaguar will awaken if the golden eagle dares to
attack the condor.\u201d</p>
<p>Speaking at the III Social Summit of the Peoples of
Latin America and the Caribbean, held in Santa Marta
in parallel to the IV Summit of the Community of Latin
American and Caribbean States (CELAC) and the European
Union (EU), which begins tomorrow, Petro affirmed that
\u201cit is still possible to talk\u201d with the United States,
but stressed that it must be with a dialogue \u201cas
equals and without kneeling.\u201d</p>
<p>\u201cDo not awaken the jaguar,\u201d the president insisted,
and added: \u201cI would say to (US Secretary of State,
Marco) Rubio, and to Trump, \u2018be careful, you are
crossing the Caribbean of the liberators, you are
messing with the homeland of Bolívar.'\u201d</p>
<p>The president also stated that, among the more than
70 deaths recorded in these recent US attacks, \u201cthere
is not a single drug trafficker,\u201d but \u201cpoor people,
workers of an illicit trade that determines the
world,\u201d and called for reviving Gran Colombia to
\u201cunite the Bolivarian dream again and be powerful.\u201d</p>
<p>\u201cWhy don\u2019t we organize, through the bases of society,
without asking permission, the committees of the
Constituent Assembly among the three or four countries
that formed Gran Colombia?\u201d Petro proposed, assuring
that this union \u201ccould also be the solution to the
current internal problems.\u201d</p>
<p>Likewise, the president again accused the US
government of having asked European and Latin American
leaders \u201cnot to come\u201d to the IV Celac-EU Summit, which
will bring together representatives of 60 states -27
European and 33 Latin American- between tomorrow and
Monday in Santa Marta.</p>
<p>During his speech at the III Social Summit of the
Peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, Petro also
celebrated that in the last General Assembly of the
United Nations in New York, last September, \u201ctwo
people felt completely alone: Mr. Trump and (the Prime
Minister of Israel, Benjamin) Netanyahu.\u201d</p>
<p>The president, one of the most critical global
political leaders of the Israeli offensive in Gaza,
insisted that the support shown by several countries
to Palestine \u201cleft Trump and Netanyahu in isolation\u201d
and affirmed that, in the world, \u201cdemocracy has died\u201d
because what reigns is \u201cthe crisis of a productive
system called capitalism.\u201d</p>
<p>\u201cThis that we are living in Gaza is going to happen
in the south,\u201d he warned, \u201cthey are showing us their
barbarity, their way of acting from now on.\u201d</p>
