"After months of trading insults from sick man and drug trafficking leader on one side, to accomplice to genocide with a senile brain on the other the first meeting between Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro ended with pleasantries, autographs and a Maga cap. The Colombian president was received by his US counterpart for a closed-door meeting at the White House, with no press access."
"Although journalists were not allowed to watch or photograph the meeting, as has been the case with visits by other heads of state, both governments posted images on social media, and Petro went further. The leftwing Colombian leader shared a photo of a signed copy of Trump's 1987 book The Art of the Deal, apparently poking fun at reports before the meeting that said he did not speak English and would need an interpreter."
Donald Trump and Gustavo Petro met privately at the White House after months of hostile exchanges. The meeting concluded with pleasantries, autographs and Petro wearing a red MAGA cap. Journalists were not allowed to observe or photograph the encounter, but both governments posted images on social media. Petro shared a signed copy of The Art of the Deal and joked about limited English, and he posted a printed photo from Trump bearing the handwritten message "Gustavo, a great honour. I love Colombia." The meeting followed threats and insults, and questions about drug trafficking and Colombia's role as the world's largest cocaine producer were raised.
