Colombian President Gustavo Petro renewed his criticism of US policy after briefly softening his tone this week following a phone call with Donald Trump.

Petro told the BBC in an interview recorded Thursday that Washington is treating other nations as though they’re part of “a US empire,” and accused US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE, agents of acting like “Nazi brigades.”
