Bitcoin surged to $93,000 on Monday, marking an increase of 3.35% from its previous value of $89,990. This rise coincided with US President Donald Trump's comments regarding potential military interventions in Colombia and Mexico, following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.
Trump expressed concerns about Colombian President Gustavo Petro, labeling him as a "sick man" involved in the cocaine trade. He suggested that military action in Colombia could be a viable option, stating, "It sounds good to me," when asked about US operations in the region. The president indicated that the US might need to take action against drug cartels in Mexico as well, despite having a more amicable relationship with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum.
In addition, Trump remarked on Cuba's status as a failing state, potentially impacting US interests due to its alliance with Venezuela. The geopolitical climate remains tense as the US monitors developments in these countries, with Trump's comments intensifying uncertainty in the region.
