Trump to meet Colombian president following public exchange of threats


President Trump spoke on Wednesday with Colombian President Gustavo Petro, and both leaders agreed to meet soon at the White House, marking their first direct conversation. The call aimed to ease tensions after a public exchange of threats that had raised concerns about U.S.-Colombia relations.

Trump also warned the Colombian leader to “watch his ass.” Petro strongly denied the allegations, warning that any attempt to arrest him would “unleash the people’s jaguar” and stating he was ready to defend himself.
