US President Trump Announces He Will Host the President of Colombia

Donald Trump announced that he will host the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, at the White House “in the near future” shortly after the first telephone conversation between the two leaders, following repeated threats from the Republican that US strikes could be launched on Colombia. The Colombian president called to “explain the situation regarding drugs and other disagreements we had,” Donald Trump said via Truth Social. He added that he “looks forward” to meeting him. This communication appears to indicate an effort to restore relations between the two countries, after the tension caused by Trump's statements.
