Daniel DePetris, a researcher on Latin America at Defense Priorities, a research group in Washington that advocates U.S. military restraint, noted that Mr. Petro’s expected departure next year because of term limits could end this hostile period.
“A lot of the dissension right now is very personality-driven,” he said. “Trump and Petro just don’t like each other, and they are polar opposites in terms of politics and ideology. Once Petro leaves, which is soon, I anticipate the Trump administration will try to turn the page.”
