Petro and Trump to meet at the White House.

From conflict to dialogue: an essential meeting for Colombia Therefore, the meeting with Trump is essential for Petro, who seeks to finish his term without setbacks, ensure the continuity of his political project, and leave a legacy consistent with his self-perception. For this reason, he needs to ease tensions with Colombia's most important trade and security ally. The purpose, in theory, is to resume dialogue and make progress on issues that are urgent for both the United States and Colombia. Petro and his team have stated that the meeting's agenda will address cooperation and security issues, particularly the fight against drug trafficking, the confrontation with illegal armed groups such as the ELN, and the renegotiation of the strategic partnership between the two nations.
