Colombia's president orders national oil company to cancel US venture over environmental concerns

I find it deliciously ironic that a man named Petro has so much animosity for the petrochem industry.

Nominative un-determinism?

[brucethemoose@lemmy.world]

It sounds like all this could give him a boost?

This is the first petrostate I feel like I can get behind.

Standing up to trump will.

[sik0fewl@lemmy.ca]

Perhaps motivated a bit by Trump's recent bullying by threatening tariffs.

He recently visited Mexico and stayed at Palacio Nacional (the Mexican president current residence). There was no negotiation, talk, conference or any kind of diplomatic visit scheduled. He just came and stayed at our president's home. Petro, you dawg.

I disagree. You underestimate the amount of people here at my old Latin America that just simps for north americans, no matter what

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

Did they miss how Trump strong-armed the very same Colombia with the immigration planes? Is the misinformation that strong there already?

[demonsword@lemmy.world]

decades of indoctrination wouldn't change simply because of that

And Mexico's president supports fracking. Even has a project of her own

[stevedice@sh.itjust.works]

She definitely got fracked.
