The daughter of Colombia’s president has waded into the short-lived standoff between her father and President Trump over deportations – suggesting the Latin American nation should send back an American sex tourist for every Colombian deported from the US.
“For every Colombian deported we will return a gringo from the Poblado,” wrote Andrea Petro, the daughter of Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in a post on X Monday.
She accompanied the cheeky message with a meme of dolphins jumping from the sea under a rainbow-crested sky.
Petro, 33, seemed to be referring to the red light district in the city Medellin, which has become a hub for tourists seeking prostitutes.
But it was recently cast into controversy in April after a 36-year-old American was caught in a hotel room with two underage girls — just 12 and 13 years old.
The alleged sex-pest made left Colombia before he could be arrested, but President Patro later appealed to the US government to see him extradited.
Tensions have been high with Colombia since Petro tried to refuse deportation flights from the US, only for him to cave after Trump threatened a trade war with the country — including tariffs of up to 50%.
