On the 8th local time, Colombian Interior Minister Benedetti said that Colombian President Petro and US President Trump agreed to take “joint action” to crack down on illegal armed “national liberation organizations” operating on the border between Colombia and Venezuela. Benedetti said the “National Liberation Organization” continued to attack and kidnap soldiers and challenge the government after peace negotiations with the government failed. After clashes with Colombian security forces, they often fled to Venezuela and continued to commit organized crime and smuggle drugs at the border between the two countries.
