Colombia has applied to join a China-based development bank, marking a growing shift in Latin America away from U.S. influence. President Gustavo Petro's recent visit to China included discussions about a $512 million investment in the New Development Bank, which is part of the BRICS grouping. This move is seen as a response to U.S. policy changes, and Petro emphasized Colombia's intention to remain neutral amid geopolitical tensions, asserting the country's decision to engage with both the U.S. and China.
