Colombia government not amused by Trump-Uribe encounter
written by Adriaan Alsema April 17, 2017
Following an informal encounter with US President Donald Trump, Colombia’s government has criticized opposition leader Alvaro Uribe for allegedly lobbying partisan and not national interests in the United States.
Former President Andres Pastrana (1998-2002) announced over the weekend that he and former President Alvaro Uribe (2002-2010) had met with Trump at his Florida holiday resort.
. . .
The meeting came before a planned meeting between the US president and his Colombian counterpart Juan Manuel Santos.
The informal encounter upset the administration of President Juan Manuel Santos as both Pastrana and Uribe are fierce opponents of an ongoing peace process in their country.
