BUENOS AIRES (CN) — Donald Trump and Colombia’s Gustavo Petro will meet at the White House on Feb. 3, marking yet another turn in their zigzagging diplomatic — and deeply personal — relationship, one that has oscillated between open confrontation and cautious engagement.
The meeting comes one month after the U.S. intervention in Venezuela, where Nicolás Maduro, then president, was captured by American military forces and flown alongside his wife to New York, where both are now standing trial on narcoterrorism charges. The operation sent shockwaves across Latin America, not only for its unprecedented nature but also for the signal it sent about Washington’s renewed willingness to act unilaterally in the region.
