President Donald Trump has announced plans for White House talks with Colombia. This follows his threat of possible military action against the South American nation.
The shift came after Trump warned Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The warning was related to Colombia's recent capture of a senior official from Venezuela's government, Nicolás Maduro.
No date for the meeting has been set. The discussion is expected to focus on regional security and the situation in Venezuela.
The U.S. has led a campaign to remove Maduro from power. Colombia is a key regional ally in this effort.
