After suggesting the removal of Venezuela's leader, Donald Trump publicly criticized Colombian President Gustavo Petro, accusing him of drug trafficking and suggesting potential military action. Petro responded by calling for public support and expressing concerns about potential U.S. intervention. Subsequently, Trump initiated a phone call with Petro, which led to a reversal in Trump's stance. Following the call, Trump praised Petro and expressed interest in a future meeting, with a White House visit being planned. The call seemingly de-escalated the tension and alleviated Petro's concerns about possible U.S. action against him.
