Petro describes the meeting as “positive,” while Trump says he “got along very well” with the Colombian leader.
According to Trump, the countries are working together to prevent drug trafficking and to lift the sanctions the US has imposed on Colombia.
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 the words “That sounds good to my ears,” and claimed that Petro is a “sick man” who manufactures cocaine and sells it to the US.
