Petro says Colombia cooperating with US ‘despite insults, threats’

Petro's call for dialogue in Venezuela reflects a broader trend in Latin American politics where leaders seek to address regional issues through cooperation rather than confrontation. His willingness to engage with the U.S. despite negative rhetoric suggests a pragmatic approach to foreign relations, potentially positioning Colombia as a mediator in Venezuelan affairs. However, the effectiveness of this strategy will depend on the responses from both the U.S. and Venezuelan leadership.
