“I begin my intense communication day with the US government, with my interview with the US business representative in Colombia McNamara”<\/strong>, Petro wrote on his X account.<\/p>\n\n\nIn the publication, the Colombian president joined, without mentioning it, the call made on Sunday afternoon by Senator Iv\u00e1n Cepeda, a leftist presidential candidate of the ruling Historic Pact, who asked his followers to demonstrate on Tuesday in Bogot\u00e1 while Petro meets with Trump.\n\n<\/a>“That on Tuesday, if it doesn’t rain, Bolivar Square fills up to defend democracy, the vital wage and peace in Colombia while I meet with Trump,” Petro wrote.\n\n\n

Meeting after several clashes<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nPetro and Trump’s meeting takes place a year after several disagreements between both leaders, which began on January 26, 2025, when the Colombian president did not authorize the entry into the country of two flights with migrants from the United States, denouncing an “undignified treatment” for his compatriots.\n\nThat episode, which almost led to the first US tariff war with Colombia due to Trump’s threats, was resolved the same day but left a wound in a solid bilateral relationship that grew larger in the following months.\n\nIn addition to migration issues, both leaders have exposed deep differences on issues such as cooperation in the fight against drug trafficking and the actions of the United States in Venezuela, including the January 3 attacks in Caracas in which Nicol\u00e1s Maduro was captured along with his wife, Cilia Flores.\n\n\n

Other topics on the agenda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\nAccording to the Colombian Presidency, Petro will also develop an agenda in Washington that includes political, academic, business activities, and activities with the Colombian community in the United States.\n\nThe president will give a talk on climate change at Georgetown University and will hold meetings with entrepreneurs from the cocoa sector focused on trade, sustainability, and international projection of the product.\n\nThe agenda also includes meetings with U.S. congressmen to strengthen the bilateral political and legislative dialogue, as well as a meeting with the Colombian diaspora at the Martin Luther King library in the U.S. capital.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
