Will Gustavo Petro overhaul Colombia's economy, forests, and drug policy?

An Exclusive Interview With Colombia’s New President | GZERO World

Colombia is Latin America’s longest-standing democracy, but it’s never elected a leftist president … until now.
Gustavo Petro swept to power by a slim margin in June, thanks largely to young Colombian voters. What do they want from him? Change. It won't be easy. Petro wants to provide free university education and health care, to end oil exploration and to tax the rich. Will he deliver?
On GZERO World, Colombia's new leader sits down with Ian Bremmer in his first American interview to talk about his plans for Colombia's future, his views on the War on Drugs, and how he'll handle relations with Venezuela and the US.
GZERO has won the Webby People's Voice Award in the Social - Comedy category for our political satire series Puppet Regime, and our Ian Explains series was named an Honoree in the Social - News & Politics category this year.
In this “ask ian,” Ian Bremmer explores why Taiwan is becoming a key issue ahead of the upcoming Trump–Xi meeting.
The US leader will seek to reinforce his bonds with evangelical Christians when he reads from the Bible tonight, in what will be a televised reading.
