US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday branded Colombian President Gustavo Petro a “lunatic” after tensions with the leftist leader over a deadly US strike on an alleged drug smuggling boat.

“I think the Colombian authorities, when it comes to, like, the military and the police, are still very pro-American. The only problem in Colombia is a lunatic president,” Rubio told reporters.

“The guy’s a lunatic — a lunatic! — and he’s not well,” said Rubio, a sworn foe of Latin American leftists.
