How an Abrupt Call Between Trump and Colombia’s President Averted a Crisis
AI Summary
In January 2026, a phone call between U.S. President Trump and Colombian President Petro averted a potential crisis after Trump appeared to threaten military action against Colombia. The 55-minute call, the first between the two leaders, marked a shift from their previous pattern of social media attacks against each other. Arranged hastily by both governments, the call aimed to re-establish dialogue between the long-standing allies amidst regional volatility following the U.S. seizure of Venezuela's president. While no concrete proposals were made, Trump announced a potential White House visit, raising hopes that Petro could navigate U.S. demands while staying true to his ideology as his term nears its end.
