U.S. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken met with Colombian President Gustavo Petro in Bogota Monday. On the agenda were policies key to the future of U.S.-Colombian relations.

He re-established diplomatic relations with Venezuela and re-opened the  border, and questioned the value of Latin American intervention in Russia’s war on Ukraine.
