Apparently Petro is trying to move Trump away from supporting the far right in the country, which has been calling for interventionism and coup. One possibility is that Petro is willing to be buttery with Trump at this moment to consolidate the elections in May. Which could be not that bad a tactic IMO.
However, if this is literally about bowing to the emperor, oh then never forget social democracy is the left wing of fascism. We will fight here against the gringos and their compradors if needed. On the protest Petro called for yesterday just I saw 3 different gringo flags being burned. Several more were burned throughout the country.
And if he does get arrested in the US. I think its game on against any gringo resident or tourist in the country, to which there are a lot of. And against the US military presence in the country.

I guess we will wait and see. But I don't register Petro as someone that suddenly would become a comprador.

Hadn't thought about your first point, but it makes a lot of sense.

Petro's presidency has been marked by compromise and triangulation, so I expect him to give some concessions to be left alone. I wouldn't put it past him if this was another Petro 4d chess move.
