Colombian President Gustavo Petro reportedly sought to ease tensions with the U.S. last month, sending a letter to President Donald Trump saying he didn't mean to accuse officials of trying to overthrow him.
The letter, published by Colombian media outlets, was dated June 23. However, it does not seem it was successful, considering that the U.S. last week recalled its top diplomat from the South American country, prompting Bogota to do the same. The Associated Press noted that relations between the countries are at its lowest point since the 90s.
