U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the White House on Tuesday. The meeting comes weeks after Trump threatened military action against Colombia over issues related to drug trafficking.
On Monday, Trump indicated that Petro appears willing to cooperate with U.S. authorities to curb illegal drug shipments originating from Colombia. Officials say the discussions during the visit are expected to focus on regional security collaboration and efforts to accelerate anti-drug initiatives.
Petro and Trump have also voiced ongoing criticism of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, with both governments opposing his actions and expressing concerns over regional stability.
The meeting is being watched closely by international observers, given its potential impact on U.S.-Colombia relations and broader security in the Americas.
