    Petro and Maduro Unite Against ELN, Trump Tariffs, Citing Bolívar's Legacy

    10 postsTrump PolicyWorldPolitics

    Colombian President Gustavo Petro has proposed a joint strategy with Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro to address the crisis caused by the guerrilla group ELN in the Catatumbo region. The proposal, termed 'hammer and anvil,' aims to combat the ELN, which has been involved in violent clashes with FARC dissidents, resulting in over 80 deaths and displacing 38,000 people. Meanwhile, tensions have escalated between Colombia and the United States after Petro refused to allow U.S. deportation flights to land in Colombia. In response, U.S. President Donald Trump imposed sanctions, including a 50% tariff on Colombian imports and visa restrictions on Colombian officials. Petro responded with a letter to Trump, criticizing the measures and defending the rights of deportees. Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, recently sworn in for a third term, expressed solidarity with Petro through a Telegram statement, offering Venezuela's support and emphasizing unity in defending Latin America. Maduro also invoked the inspiration of Simón Bolívar, calling for cooperation to overcome challenges. The crisis underscores the growing diplomatic rift between Colombia and the U.S., while fostering closer ties between Colombia and Venezuela.
