Venezuela to ‘Rebuild Fellowship’ with Petro Gov’t in Colombia
Petro Reiterates Willingness to Normalize Relations with Venezuela
Colombia’s new president aims to reset relations with US:
And [Gustavo] Petro has his own allies in Washington — he told CNN that he speaks “often” with US Senator Bernie Sanders, and met in person earlier this year with the Progressive Caucus, a group of left-leaning US representatives.
Colombia’s newest president has also spoken of a desire to create a new progressive alliance in South America.
This would likely involve Chilean president Gabriel Boric and Argentinian president Alberto Fernandez, rather than the three authoritarian countries of Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela.
