Petro's remarks came in response to Mr. Trump'sremark to the New York Timesthat he expected U.S. oversight of Venezuela to last "much longer" than a year.

"If that happens, Venezuelan society will implode," Petro said.

"And there's a crucial point that's not so much about Venezuela, but about the idea that the United States has a right over the resources of not only Latin America, but the world," Petro added.

The Trump administration has said the U.S. plans to take control of selling Venezuela's oil and is pushing American companies to invest billions in rebuilding Venezuela's oil infrastructure. Mr. Trump ismeeting with oil executivesat the White House Friday to discuss the issue.

Petro and Mr. Trumpspoke for the first timeWednesday after the U.S. leader threatened military action against Colombia as part of his crackdown on the flow of narcotics into the country. The call appeared to ease the escalating tensions between the two leaders, and Mr. Trump invited Petro to the White House.

Petro was critical of Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado, who Mr. Trump said he plans to meet with next week. When asked if he would trust or support her as a leader of Venezuela, Petro said, "I invited her once, and she didn't want to come. I was obviously surprised that Trump thought the same thing as me."

After the U.S. captured former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Mr. Trump said he didn't believe Machado had enough support inside her country to be a viable leader. Instead, Maduro's vice president,Delcy Rodríguez, has been sworn in as interim president.

But among the opposition, Machado was polling at 93% ahead in an election last year in which Maduro claimed a decisive victory that the U.S. and Machado say he stole. While the Maduro regime blocked Machado from running, the candidate she backed is believed by the U.S. and many outside observers to have won 70% of the vote.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said at a hearing that she planned to issue a temporary restraining order but did not say when it would be issued. This case is part of a broader effort by the administration to end temporary legal protection for numerous groups and comes just over a week since another judge ruled that hundreds of people fromSouth Sudanmay live and work in the United States legally.

"The government, having invited people to apply, is now laying traps between those people and getting the green card," Justin Cox, an attorney who works with Justice Action Center and who argued the case for the plaintiffs, said. "That is incredibly inequitable."

This case involved a program called Family Reunification Parole, or FRP, and impacts people from Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras. Most of them are set to lose their legal protections, which were put in place during the Biden administration, by Jan. 14. The Department of Homeland Security terminated protections late last year.

The case involves five plaintiffs but lawyers are seeking to have any ruling cover everyone that is part of the program.

"Although in a temporary status, these parolees did not come temporarily; they came to get a jump-start on their new lives in the United States, typically bringing immediate family members with them," plaintiffs wrote in their motion. "Since they arrived, FRP parolees have gotten employment authorization documents, jobs, and enrolled their kids in school."

The government, in its brief and in court, argued Homeland Security SecretaryKristi Noemhas the authority to terminate any parole program and gave adequate notice by publishing the termination in the federal registry. It also argued that the program's termination was necessary on national security grounds because the people had not been property vetted. It also said resources to maintain this program would be better used in other immigration programs.

"Parole can be terminated at any time," Katie Rose Talley, a lawyer for the government told the court. "That is what is being done. There is nothing unlawful about that."

Talwani conceded that the government can end the program but she took issue with the way it was done.

The government argued that just announcing in the federal registry that it was ending the program was sufficient. But Talwani demanded the government show how it has alerted people through a written notice — a letter or email — that the program was ending.

"I understand why plaintiffs feel like they came here and made all these plans and were going to be here for a very long time," Talwani said. "I have a group of people who are trying to follow the law. I am saying to you that, we as Americans, the United States needs to."

Lower courts have largely supported keeping temporary protections for many groups. But in May,the Supreme Courtcleared the way for the Trump administration to strip temporary legal protections from hundreds of thousands of immigrants for now, pushing the total number of people who could be newly exposed to deportation to nearly 1 million.

The justices lifteda lower-court orderthat kept humanitarian parole protections in place for more than 500,000 migrants from four countries: Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela. The decision came after the court allowed the administration to revoke temporary legal status from about 350,000 Venezuelan migrants in another case.

The court did not explain its reasoning in the brief order, as is typical on its emergency docket. Two justices publicly dissented.
