    Colombian President Gustavo Petro has proposed a joint strategy with Venezuela to combat the National Liberation Army (ELN) following a crisis in the Catatumbo region that resulted in over 80 deaths. In response to U.S. sanctions, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro expressed solidarity with Petro, offering the 'experience and strength of the Venezuelan people' to support Colombia. Maduro, who began his third term on January 10, 2025, emphasized the need for collaboration between the two nations amid increasing international isolation. Petro has also stated that he is unafraid of a coup d'état and believes that the Americas will support him in this crisis. Maduro extended an invitation to Petro to join forces in the fight for Latin American independence through a message on Telegram.
