What to expect when Trump and Colombia's Petro meet on Tuesday
President Donald Trump is set to welcome Colombian President Gustavo Petro to the White House for talks. Tuesday's meeting comes weeks after Trump accused the Colombian leader of pumping cocaine into the United States and threatened military action against his South American country. U.S. administration officials say the meeting will focus on regional security cooperation and counternarcotics efforts. Bad blood between the leaders looms large ahead of the sit-down. Trump, on the heels of an operation to capture Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, warned Petro last month that he could be next. The conservative Trump and leftist Petro are ideologically far apart, but both leaders share a tendency for verbal bombast and unpredictability. That's giving the visit an anything-could-happen vibe.
