President Donald Trump said he spoke with Colombian President Gustavo Petro on Wednesday, saying he "appreciated his call and tone," and arrangements are being made for Petro to visit the White House.

"It was a Great Honor to speak with the President of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, who called to explain the situation of drugs and other disagreements that we have had," Trump posted on his social media platform. I appreciated his call and tone, and look forward to meeting him in the near future."

The call comes as Trump has ramped up his rhetoric against Petro, threatening him that the U.S. could take similar action against Colombia as it has against Venezuela.

In September, the U.S. announced it would revoke Petro's visa in September after he participated in a pro-Palestinian demonstration while visiting New York for the U.N. General Assembly.

The Senate is set to vote Thursday on a war powers resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine that would block the use of the U.S. Armed Forces to engage in hostilities within or against Venezuela unless authorized by Congress.

The legislation is being co-sponsored by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Republican Sen. Rand Paul, and Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. It will need a simple majority of votes to pass in the Senate.

It's unclear whether it will get those votes.

The Senate voted on a similar resolution in October that narrowly failed to get the 50 votes it needed to pass. Republican Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Rand Paul voted with all Democrats to advance it at the time.

Already, many Republicans are distancing themselves from the effort this time.

Republican Whip John Barrasso said earlier Wednesday the measure would weaken the president's constitutional authority.

"It does not reassert Congress’s powers. It does not make America stronger. It makes America weaker and less safe," he said.

President Donald Trump said he has been informed that Venezuela "is going to be purchasing ONLY American Made Products" with the money from the deal with the U.S. to export Venezuelan oil.

"In other words, Venezuela is committing to doing business with the United States of America as their principal partner – A wise choice, and a very good thing for the people of Venezuela, and the United States," Trump posted on his social media platform.

On Tuesday, Trump announced that Venezuela would be turning over up to 50 million barrels of oil to the U.S. to be sold at the market rate. The proceeds would go to benefit the people of Venezuela and the U.S., Trump said.

In the post on Wednesday, Trump said the purchases of American products would include agricultural products, medicines, medical devices and equipment to improve Venezuela's electric grid and energy facilities.
