President Donald Trump received former Colombian Presidents Alvaro Uribe and Andres Pastrana, the two vociferous opponents of an ongoing peace process in their country, on Friday, local media reported.

According to several media, Trump received the prominent opposition politicians at his Mar-a-Lago holiday resort in Florida. Neither the White House or Trump confirmed the meeting.

Newspaper El Tiempo reported that the hard-right Uribe (2002-2010) said the visit was at the “invitation of others, a social event.” Radio station La FM reported Uribe was in Florida together with his grandchildren.

.......

The two former presidents have desperately sought US support for their opposition to the peace process that has been praised by the global community.

Pastrana initially supported the peace process until it became public that state officials accused of war crimes will have to appear before a transitional justice system.

Uribe, accused of ties to death squads and responsibility in the executing of thousands of Colombian citizens, has opposed peace with the FARC, the country’s largest and longest-running rebel group since talks began in 2012.

..."TUNJA, Colombia — Of all the would-be business partners of President Trump who have been hoping to capitalize on his win, there is surely no one who stands to gain quite as much — relatively speaking — as young Colombian builder Nicolás Jiménez.

Jiménez, you see, doesn’t have much to begin with.

His company, Fortún, is the local partner of U.S. investors who have drawn up a $350 million plan to build the Trump International Hotel and Tower Bogota, featuring two 72-story skyscrapers that would be among the tallest in Latin
America. New York-based Yun Capital, a longtime Trump backer, is putting up the money; Jiménez has been looking for a site and said he hopes to finalize a deal this month.

Eric Trump, the new president’s son, who has assumed leadership of the Trump Organization together with his brother Donald Trump Jr., said during a trip to Uruguay this month that the company was still looking to Latin America. “There are opportunities in Panama, Colombia,” he told an Argentine reporter. “There is a lot to do. It is a tremendous market.”
