Colombian President Gustavo Petro canceled a planned meeting with Venezuela's acting president Delcy Rodríguez hours after holding a phone call with president Donald Trump. Officials did not, however, link the two developments and provided no detailed explanation for the cancellation.
Petro's office said the Colombian leader spoke by phone with the president on Thursday and discussed economic conditions along the Colombia–Venezuela border. The issue had been expected to feature prominently in Petro's planned talks with Rodríguez, as Reuters reports.
