United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday (Jan 7) invited his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro to the White House, just days after threatening him with military action over alleged drug trafficking.
Trump had warned Petro on Jan 3 to "watch his ass" following US forces' ousting of leader Nicolas Maduro in neighbouring Venezuela. On Wednesday, following the first phone call between the leaders since Trump took office in January last year, the 79-year-old Republican said he was arranging to meet with Petro "in the near future".
Petro "called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had", Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform.

This is a transparent attempt to conflate good guy and bad guy.
I hate the media.
When he arrives, take him into a room with President Trump. Make him promise to play ball/fall in line. If he objects, arrest him for drug trafficking. No more games. If he goes back on his word after leaving DC grab him from Columbia.
A new poll reveals HUGE approval in Latin America for Trump’s arrest of the tyrant Maduro.
87% in Costa Rica
78% in Chile
77% in Colombia
76% in Panama
74% in Peru
61% in Argentina
60% in Ecuador
52% in Uruguay

Inviting him into the lions den.
Reinforces his attitudes towards not being into regime change but a change in behavior nonetheless.
Why does the media always have to put Trump's age in their articles? What's the point??
The media is trying to biden Trump, but it doesn’t work. I see Trump’s age, see his energy, and see he’s got more on the ball than people thirty years younger (except Musk).
Peace bands in 1 claw , arrows in another.
“Trump had warned Petro on Jan 3 to “watch his ass”…
No flowery BS, no subtlety or carefully crafted nuance, no staff of writers agonizing how to communicate a message. None of it needed, he just tells him to watch his ass. I think it’s quite clear, and glad my President tells it like it is.
I voted for this.
It keeps them from having to just identify him as the President.
DJT is going to let him know that he doesn’t hold any cards.
