Petro has rejected Trump's "illegitimate threats" and declared that he would take up arms "for the country" again

Colombia 's President Gustavo Petro has rejected Donald Trump's "illegitimate threats"against him following his Milanese intervention to overthrow Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, and has warned that he is "capable of taking back the weapons he left behind after his guerrilla past."

"I haven't been a soldier, but I know about war and clandestinity. After the 1989 peace treaty, I promised not totake up arms again, but I will take the weapons I don't want for the country, "he said in a long message on social media.

"I'm not illegitimate, I'm not a narco, I only own my family home and I'm still paying my salary. All my bank documents are public.

He has also been convinced that if anything similar happens to what happened on Saturday night in Caracas, "a large part of the Colombian people who love and respect him will free the popular jaguar . " 

"I have immense confidence in my people and have therefore asked the people toprotect the President from any violent and illegitimate action against him. "
