U.S. President Donald Trump met with Colombian President Gustavo Petro at the White House on Tuesday, marking their first official face-to-face encounter after months of public confrontations and ideological differences between the two leaders.

The meeting was held behind closed doors without media access, traditional military honor guard or joint press statements, contrasting with recent visits by other leaders. Petro arrived via the West Executive Drive entrance rather than the public North Portico.

In October, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions on Petro, his wife, his son and Colombian Interior Minister Armando Benedetti over accusations of involvement in the global drug trade. These sanctions had to be waived to allow Petro to travel to Washington.

Colombia resumed deportation flights for Colombian citizens from the United States on January 29 after an eight-month suspension, a move viewed as a gesture ahead of the White House meeting. The Foreign Ministry confirmed repatriation flights had restarted.

Trump stated that Petro became "very nice" after the U.S. military operation to capture Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro in January, suggesting the Colombian president changed his attitude. Both leaders held an hourlong phone call that led to the White House invitation.
