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.

For a moment on Sunday, the government of Colombia’s Gustavo Petro looked like it might be the first in Latin America to take a meaningful stand against President Donald Trump’s mass-deportation plans. Instead, Petro gave Trump the perfect opportunity to show how far he would go to enforce compliance. Latin American leaders came out worse off.

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.

"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."
