Colombia’s political leaders from the left to the right welcomed the arrival of US President Joe Biden to the White House on Wednesday.
Far-right former President Alvaro Uribe said he wished “all the best to the United States” and President Ivan Duque‘s American counterpart.
Leading opposition Senator Gustavo Petro praised Biden’s decision to revoke Trump’s decision to abandon the Paris Agreement to combat climate change as part of a “major agreement with American progressives.”
Former President Juan Manuel Santos, who was in office when the US president was serving as former President Barack Obama’s VP, said “the world needs him.”
