Colombian President Gustavo Petro has announced his intention to travel to Washington to 'stop the world war', following an invitation from US President Donald Trump for a meeting at the White House. This move comes amid previous statements by Petro revealing deep concerns about a potential US military intervention against his country and his fear of sharing Maduro's fate. In response to a question from the US CBS network about whether the trip was related to his desire to stop the war in Latin America, Petro said: 'To stop the world war'. This came after Trump had previously announced that preparations were underway for their meeting at the White House soon. The Spanish newspaper El País reported that Trump had told him during a phone call.
