Colombian president says troops deployed to Venezuela border after US attacks

Colombian President Gustavo Petro said Saturday he ordered the deployment of military forces to the Venezuelan border, following U.S. "attacks" that, according to Donald Trump, ended with the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Petro described Washington's actions as an "assault on the sovereignty" of Latin America and said they would result in a humanitarian crisis.
