Colombian President Gustavo Petro will meet with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House. This meeting takes place against a backdrop of tense relations between the leaders, during which Trump accused Petro of being a drug trafficker, while Petro criticized the Republican's foreign policy. Petro arrives in Washington at the end of his term, but this meeting could be the most important of his presidency. The agenda includes complex and diverse issues, such as Petro's possible request to be removed from the Clinton List, migration matters, and potential cooperation on Washington's plans for the transition in Venezuela. However, the central issue remains the fight against drug trafficking. Petro intends to demonstrate that his policy of crop substitution has been successful, while the Trump administration claims that coca cultivation has increased, citing UN data that the Colombian government says was compiled with a flawed methodology.
