"Today, I can say that it's literally a matter of days before we could begin supplying electricity to Venezuela. Electricity, in particular, allows us to reduce costs, especially if it's clean," Petro told reporters in Washington on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, the Colombian president met with Trump at the White House. Their meeting lasted nearly two hours, the White House press pool reported. Petro told reporters after the talks that energy integration could contribute to the stabilization of border regions with Venezuela and Ecuador and the reduction of socio-economic tensions. Also on Tuesday, Petro published a picture of himself with Trump, who signed the photo with the words "I love Colombia." The photograph was published on X, and it also contains Petro's words "A great honor." In early January, Trump said he looked forward to a meeting with Petro in the first week of February at the White House. The Colombian president later confirmed his intention to visit the United States in a bid "to stop a world war." Trump previously accused Petro of producing cocaine and did not rule out a military operation against him.
