US President Donald Trump has said he will meet his Colombian counterpart Gustavo Petro at the White House in the "near future", just days after saying an operation targeting Colombia "sounds good".

The US seized the president of neighbouring Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, in a raid on Caracas on Saturday night.

Venezuelan Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello said on Wednesday the death toll in the raid was substantially higher than initially reported, with more than 100 people killed.

Local media had previously reported that 23 Venezuelan and 32 Cuban soldiers died when US forces stormed Maduro's compound.

During a call with Trump, Petro explained "the situation of drugs and other disagreements", the US president said, adding he appreciated the Colombian president's "tone". Earlier this week, Trump had issued a warning to Petro, telling him to "watch his ass".
