Colombian President Petro defends national security amid Trump threats

Days after threatening military action against Colombia, US President Donald Trump said he had invited Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House following what was described as a cordial telephone conversation. Petro, who had strongly condemned the US operation against Nicolás Maduro, later appeared at a rally in Bogotá focused on defending national sovereignty in the face of Trump’s threats, where he said he had called for renewed dialogue between the two countries.
