Bogotá insinuates that Caracas provides cover for the ELN guerrillas and Chavismo responds by accusing the Colombian authorities of sheltering members of Tren de Aragua

A recent fight over between President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro has brought renewed attention to the policies of the former Marxist guerilla whose priorities often run counter to Washington,

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla, has recently made headlines for his outspoken stance against U.S. policies, particularly in a public spat with President Donald Trump.

So Trump will likely get his way in more cases than not.

When President Gustavo Petro took office in 2022, he aimed to bring about comprehensive peace in Colombia. But this now seems a remote dream amid the latest violence.

President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro defended their views on social media and imposed tariffs on each other’s goods.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro announced that Colombia was suspending permission for previously authorized U.S. deportation flights to land in Colombia. Ostensibly driving Petro’s action were concerns that Colombian nationals were not being treated with respect during the deportation process because they were being transported by military aircraft.
