From Threat to Invite: Trump Reverses Stance on Colombian President

President Donald Trump has abruptly reversed his critical stance toward Colombia's leader, extending a White House invitation just days after threatening the country with military action. On Wednesday, President Trump announced he had a "very friendly" phone call with Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The two leaders discussed trade and the fight against drug trafficking. This represents a sharp change in tone. Last week, President Trump publicly suggested he might order a military strike on Colombian drug production facilities. He had previously labeled Colombia a "partner in crime" with drug cartels. No date has been set for the proposed White House visit. The sudden shift from military threats to diplomatic invitation marks a significant development in U.S.-Colombian relations.
