A recent fight over between President Donald Trump and Colombian President Gustavo Petro has brought renewed attention to the policies of the former Marxist guerilla whose priorities often run counter to Washington,

Colombian President Gustavo Petro asked President Donald Trump to sit down with him and talk things over a glass of whiskey, called him an outright racist in rambling social media posts and pledged to never yield to Washington’s pressure even if the economic sanctions being threatened led to his overthrow.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has blasted Donald Trump after their trade war and claimed he is 'on track to white out humanity'

"I don't like your oil, Trump, you're going to wipe out the human species because of greed," Petro raged. "Maybe one day, over a glass of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I'm not, nor is any Colombian."

Although the diplomatic impasse has been overcome, many questions remain in the air about the future of the relationship between Colombia and the United States.

Colombia stopped resisting President Donald Trump’s deportation of its unwanted nationals. But America First bullying may yet provoke a backlash. The row casts a pall over the first trip abroad by Marco Rubio,

Colombia's President Gustavo Petro, a former Marxist guerrilla, has recently made headlines for his outspoken stance against U.S. policies, particularly in a public spat with President Donald Trump.

President Donald Trump posted threats against Colombia on his social media platform on Sunday after two U.S. military repatriation flights were prevented from landing.

The move followed a dispute between President Trump and President Gustavo Petro over deportation flights that nearly turned into a costly trade war between both countries.

Trump’s uncharitable rhetoric and less-than-civilised treatment of illegal immigrants are, at the very least, likely to fuel more anti-American sentiment in the region. This resentment towards the US may well manifest in building bridges with governments and ideologies that are inimical to US interests.
