Colombian President Gustavo Petro proposed having Colombian forces cooperate with their Venezuelan counterparts and others in the region. He said they would be able to fight drug-trafficking more effectively, but the proposal comes as the two governments face increased pressure from the Trump administration.
"This is not defending (authoritarian President Nicolas) Maduro who, as you said, violates human rights. There are Colombians there who are imprisoned and we have asked for them to be here," Petro claimed.
