It was a political shock for Colombian President Gustavo Petro: Last Sunday the Spanish newspaper released The country Extracts from audio recordings. In it one learns from the project of ex-foreign minister Álvaro Leyvas to overthrow Petro with the help of the US Republicans. On a trip to the United States in April, Leyva met some consultants who are close to the government of US President Donald Trump. The left -wing populist Petro had already clashed with Trump in January when he denied landing in Colombia. Leyva was not heard among the Republicans, but there is now a new argument in the room.
