Colombia's left-wing President Gustavo Petro speaks with CBS News in a network exclusive interview about what a U.S. attack on his country could mean.

President Gustavo Petro said that the new tone between the leaders was “friendly,” but he also resurfaced his deep disagreements with President Trump.

Trump has floated the idea of conducting raids on Colombia and Cuba following the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.

Gustavo Petro tells the BBC's Ione Wells that the United States is treating other nations as part of a US "empire", after Trump threatened Colombia with military action.

President Donald Trump will host Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the White House in early February, he announced Friday on Truth Social, marking an abrupt detente in the relationship between two men who have clashed often since Trump’s return to the Oval Office.

Colombia could face its own turmoil from the stunning turn of events both in violence and a mass influx of refugees.

More than 300 people have fled Colombia’s Catatumbo region to escape fighting by rebel groups, officials said Monday

The conversation appeared to defuse a crisis that erupted after President Trump said military action against Colombia “sounds good.” President Gustavo Petro spoke to The New York Times just before the call.

Trump responded that “it sounds good to me” when he was asked directly if the US would carry out military operations against Venezuela’s neighbor.
