Did Pence just get the cold shoulder in Colombia?

Did Pence just get the cold shoulder in Colombia?
written by Adriaan Alsema August 15, 2017





The visit of US Vice-President Mike Pence was by far the weirdest visit to Colombia of a foreign leader in the past decade. He left without anyone even noticing.

According to public records, Pence met with President Juan Manuel Santos and several of his cabinet members on Sunday, visited a Venezuelan refugee shelter in Cartagena on Monday and that was it.

On Tuesday morning, the United States’ VP said he had arrived in Argentina for the second leg of his Latin American tour.

The only formal meeting was the one on Sunday with Santos, Defense Minister Luis Carlos Villegas, Finance Minister Mauricio Cardenas, Trade Minister Maria Claudia Lacouture and Post-Conflict Adviser Rafael Pardo.

I think he's up to something nasty while all the focus is on Donny and the Banshees.

I still think he's up to something. It won't work but he's gonna try anyway.
