Colombia’s president pushes back as U.S. tensions rise

Season 2026 Episode 5 | 4m 35s

The situation in Venezuela's neighbor to the West, Colombia, is tense tonight. Though Colombia is a major non-NATO ally of the U.S., President Trump has repeatedly threatened its President, Gustavo Petro, alleging without evidence that he has ties to the drug trade. Geoff Bennett discussed the situation with special correspondent Mónica Villamizar, who is in Bogota.
