U.S. President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro met at the White House. Petro described the meeting as "positive," while Trump said he "got along very well" with the Colombian leader.

According to Trump, the countries are working on cooperation to prevent drug trafficking and on lifting sanctions that the US has imposed on the country.

The tone is very different from before. Earlier this year, Trump responded to a question about whether the US might intervene militarily in Colombia with "That sounds good to me," and claimed that Petro is a "sick man" who manufactures cocaine and sells it to the US.
