Trump-Petro meeting: Just how icy are US-Colombia relations?
AI Summary
Colombian President Gustavo Petro will meet US President Donald Trump on February 3, amid tensions over drug trafficking and diplomatic relations between the two countries. The meeting comes after a year of exchanging insults and threats between the leaders, with Petro criticizing Trump's aggressive foreign policies in Latin America. The US abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro last month further strained relations. However, historical records show that US-Colombia relations have not always been frosty, with the US recognizing Colombia's independence in 1822 and signing treaties on peace, navigation, and commerce. The two nations have cooperated on security and economic matters, but efforts have been interrupted by geopolitics and the war on drugs. Petro will likely seek to address diplomatic tensions during his visit to the White House.
