Gustavo Petro's arrival in Washington aims to stabilize relations with Donald Trump's administration after a year of intense turmoil.The meeting was held behind closed doors and both ensured harmony and optimism, although there were no details on the specific outcomes of the meeting.

"We get along very well," Trump said at a follow-up event from the Oval Office. "We're working on a lot of things. We had a very good meeting, he was great."

There, in a press conference in Washington, Pedro revealed that he had given the US president a list of major drug-trafficking leaders living outside Colombia's borders."The front line of drug trafficking lives in Dubai, Madrid, Miami (...) (...) I gave President Trump a list. Their bosses are not in Colombia, we have to go after them," Pedro assured after a meeting at the White House, EFE reported.

Petro, who was interviewed by Colombian radio station Radio Caracol, did not say anything specific.

"I like Frank Gringo, who says what he thinks," Pietro said of the US president.He noted that the meeting was "positive" and that both "we are focused on what brings us together, not what divides us."

Petro said a “new path” was born between him and Trump.“Different people, different diets, different thoughts, different powers, but they can be found.”

He did not clarify whether this new song will lead to the removal of the sanctions imposed by the Trump Administration last fall after he was linked to drug trafficking.At the same time, the US decertified Colombia as an ally in the war on drugs.

"People have told me that they don't believe in sanctions because they don't see them in a particular case, and I think that Peter defended his right."This is not the way of sanctions, but the way of freedom.

Petro defended his anti-drug policy despite clear disagreements with the Trump administration, and even UN statistics show that South American cocaine production is breaking records.

An important part of the talks will be with Colombia's neighbor Venezuela, which will mark a month since the arrest of Nicolas Maduro in Caracas.His successor, Chavista President Delsy Rodriguez, is cooperating with the Trump administrationColombia has said it is allied with the opposition and Chavismo, and has defended, without elaborating, that Venezuela's rationalist forces should unite.

Petro said Trump gave him a political symbol: a red hat with the initials MAGA for 'Make America Great Again'.

It remains to be seen how the Trump administration's policy towards Colombia will change after this show of harmony and good words.
