Trump and Colombia's Petro Strike Friendly Tone After Months of Feuding. A long-anticipated meeting between US President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro has ended on unexpectedly warm terms, after months of sharp personal attacks between the two leaders. The closed-door talks lasted around two hours, with both sides later striking an upbeat note. Petro said discussions focused on regional cooperation including tackling drug trafficking and the potential export of Venezuelan gas through Colombia. Trump, for his part, described Petro as "terrific" and said they had gotten along very well. The friendly outcome defied expectations of a tense encounter, given past insults exchanged over immigration, sanctions, and counter-narcotics policy. Trump also signalled he may consider lifting US sanctions imposed on Petro last year, which the Colombian president has strongly denied warrant. Petro called the meeting "constructive" and urged cooperation over confrontation, saying progress comes from focusing on shared goals rather than deep differences.
