The first phone call between Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro showed an attempt to reduce tensions and return US-Colombia relations to a format of direct political dialogue.
Donald Trump’s rhetoric toward Colombia’s president came amid events around Venezuela and was perceived as a hint at a possible expansion of U.S. special operations in the region.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, speaking in Caracas, called on Colombia to join efforts to protect sovereignty, linking his appeal to the anniversary of the creation of Gran Colombia and the current international situation.
Colombian authorities detained members of the radical religious community Lev Tahor and rescued 17 children. Several of the freed minors had active Interpol Yellow Notices as missing or in need of protection.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro has reported a possible threat to his life following the imposition of U.S. sanctions against him, his family members, and several high-ranking officials. According to the head of state, these actions represent “pressure on Colombia’s sovereignty” and an attempt to destabilize the country.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro said that Venezuela and Colombia are historically and culturally intertwined, comparing them to “Siamese twins.” He emphasized that the security and destiny of both nations are inseparable.
Gustavo Petro sharply responded to U.S. President Donald Trump, declaring that Colombia does not obey foreign orders. He emphasized that decisions in his country are made by its people, not by foreign leaders.
